In the standard Mensa test he was rated at IQ 161.
In 1968 he was transferred by his employer, Shand Kydd Wallpapers, to New Zealand where he eventually opened a photographic studio specialising in wedding and portrait photography and attained an associateship of the Photographic Society Of NZ and a fellowship of the Hawkes Bay Professional Photographers Institute.
With the advent of digital photography in the 1990s, David realised that re-equipping his studio at his age was inadvisable and so he moved to Queensland where he attended Griffith University as a mature-age student, attaining bachelors degrees in Screen Production and Spanish.
David's spiritual research at this time led him to the Seventh day Adventist Church because that was the truest to biblical teaching. However, his ongoing studies of world belief systems brought him to a realisation that the only bases for the numerous doctrines were ancient legends, traditions and folk-stories (of which the Bible was just one) through which each religion claimed that it presented truth and all others were, therefore, lying.
This led to a very in-depth study of leading world religions and denominations a result of which was the further realisation that, in actual fact none of them were right especially when related to the immutable laws of physics.
However, rather than adopt an atheist stance, David rationalised in his own mind that the universe as we know it had to have some sort of conception as opposed to simple random occurrance. Technically, this makes David a Deist in principle - although he doesn't wear that definition as a badge and readily admits that, whilst he believes in a superior creative entity, he has no idea who or what that entity might be or have been.view less
