Who am I? 

Hello, I’m David, 60 years young and celebrating 29 years of marriage. I love spending time with my family, including our Labradoodle Fletch. I'm passionate about coaching cricket, finding fulfilment in the teamwork and camaraderie within the club while passing on knowledge to younger club members. Aussie Rules football and rugby league capture my interest, and I'm an avid traveller, fascinated by different cultures, having explored South-East Asia multiple times. I love to read and watch the occasional movie. 

Why this role?

After spending 16 years in the car sales industry, I decided it was time for a change. I sought an opportunity to give back to the community and make a positive impact, leading me to join Beyond Mentoring SA.

I mentor because I love helping people navigate life's challenges. Drawing on my background in building connections with individuals from diverse backgrounds, I apply these skills to my role as a mentor. Working with people to address vulnerabilities and leverage strengths brings me joy. My main focus is to support those aged 45 and above, aiming to reduce social isolation and enhance their overall well-being.
