David always had an interest in media – his earliest broadcasting recollection is sitting in his childhood bedroom DJing a ‘radio show’ to his mum downstairs via a pair of kids walkie-talkies – so today he creates videos about canals, narrowboats and life afloat on his YouTube channel Cruising The Cut, and about his DIY campervan conversion at Vandemonium.
David was previously employed by ITV’s regional news programme for the south-east, ITV News Meridian. Before that he worked in radio on a multitude of stations.
A bit of a swot, David gained a BSc in Computer Studies from Loughborough University then some years later took a degree in law for fun at the University of Kent, graduating on his 40th birthday.
