There is no greater power than to begin, again and again and again.
I’m in love with creating things and have turned a habit of embarking on self propelled journeys into founding a positive adventure community, a renewables-powered camping farm (with alpacas!) and hundreds of films, social projects and books about turning ideas into reality.
I’ve got over one thousand keynote talks under my belt, where I share ideas and motivation about adventure, positive mindset, community connection and the power of getting started.
“If you’re ever caught between two decisions, always go for the one which makes the best story”

Mississippi Trip: October 2025
Dave is running two Mississippi trips in October 2025. Don’t miss out on the most amazing paddle and camp adventure along the Lower Misssissippi.
This journey has changed lives, perspectives and directions. It’s the most unique beach holiday around, and I’d love to spend the week with you.
