David took up triathlon with the aim of getting fit in 2005. He has now raced from try a tri all the way up to ironman distance as well as taking part in swim run races and long distance swim events.

David became a level 1 coach in 2011 and then progressed to level two in 2014. Over the years he has coached across all lanes at Stirling Triathlon Club.

His ethos is to help people develop and work hard in the pool but that it should be fun and occasionally surprising.
