Dave started skydiving in 1984 and took up paragliding ten years later. Having worked extensively as both a mentor and professional guide he has flown many thousands of hours around the world, including South Africa, South America and Great Britain.

Having started BASE jumping five years ago Dave has completed nearly 700 jumps, from more than 100 different objects, mainly in Europe and South Africa.

Dave is a qualified and experienced EMT and brings this valuable medical training to UK Pro BASE. His previous career as a maritime salvage rigger has provided Dave with experience working both at height and under difficult circumstances.

Having presented Britain’s first public display of BASE jumping in association with Go Fast Sports at the Bedford Riverside Festival in 2006 Dave co founded UK Pro BASE in order to positively increase public awareness of BASE jumping within the UK.

Particularly competent at practical problem solving Dave is keen to ensure that UK Pro BASE continues to raise the profile of BASE jumping within the UK.
