In his youth, David was always drawing and painting He wanted a career in sketching and painting wildlife, as he had an eye for detail. He started his working life drawing heating and ventilation systems until gradually the drawing aspect all but disappeared as he got more involved with the contracting side of the projects he was involved in. So, he hopes in his later years, he might some time get back to that drawing board and carry on where he left off with his wildlife painting. In the meantime, his 'eye for detail' has been put to greater use in writing his first book, which came about when he decided to learn to ride a motor cycle. Had he not left it so late to learn, he probably would never had written it.view less
