Dave got his taste of Radio whilst serving at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus in 1994, where he worked as a 'volunteer' presenter on BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) in his off-duty hours. His first show was presenting the "Late Live and Local" slot between 9pm and 11pm every Tuesday evening, which lead to him being offered more and more 'fill in' work for the Network, ending up with him presenting the early morning breakfast show at weekends. He now has the dubious claim of having broadcast in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands, albeit to a captive audience of Armed Forces personnel, but what a critical audience he has had to entertain!
Dave's interests are a bit like his taste in music, eclectic! A passionate biker (he owns a Honda CBR1100), an ardent motorcycle fan (Valentino Rossi being his idol) to playing very competitive squash. His other interests (talents) include playing the E? Tenor Horn, and messing around with his 6 and 12 string guitars.
Married for 8 years to his soul mate and long suffering wife Ann, they adore their 'little boy' William, an 11 year old rescue Irish Red and White Setter.
Favourite music: Anything, but not sure about Jazz as he feels it is an acquired
taste not yet realised!
Favourite Bands:Hootie and the Blowfish, Eagles, Nickelback, Super Tramp, The
Corrs, Michael Jackson, Creed, Genesis, Staind, Eva Cassidy, Coldplay, Nirvana,
Celine Dion, (told you it was eclectic!!!)
Favourite food:The more spicy and hotter the better!
Ambition:To be in the position to live to work, not work to live!!!!
