David joined the Rotaract Club of Noarlunga in 1978 until 1985. During that time he met and married Lyn, a teacher at Murray Bridge also a Rotaractor from the Rotaract Club of Mobilong. Thirty two years later they are the proud parents of three adult sons with tertiary degrees in Law and Engineering, two of which are now living and working interstate.

In 1996, David joined Australia Post to undertake a career in Contact Management where he was the Manager SA/NT. He became heavily involved in the conversion to GST of Australia Post’s electronic point of sale contract pricing systems in the lead up to 1st July 2000. He subsequently worked on several pricing and contract system projects in Australia Post headquarters in Melbourne and eventually retired in 2016. He feels his Six Sigma training and the change management scenarios gained through his project involvement will be beneficial in his preparation for the year as District Governor in 2020/21.
