About Me

David is the 27-year-old founder and creator of the Sculpt the Future foundation --- An independently run initiative that aims to raise environmental awareness and education by placing the power of change into the hands of local communities around the globe. No stranger to using alternative mediums to gain awareness for environmental and social change, David developed Adventure Ecology, the latest initiative from the Sculpt the Future foundation

David’s commitment to the environment has sent him to some of the world’s most remote places. In 2004/2005 David became the youngest British person and one of only 14 people ever to traverse the continent of Antarctica. After completing this, he then went on to be part of a team that broke the world record for the fastest ever crossing of the Greenland Icecap.

After completing a BSC Hon’s in Political Science and Information Systems, David went on to set up a joint venture with one of the leading global manufacturers and distributors of licensed apparel representing over 100 brands and bands from Harley Davidson to Madonna. This brand experience coupled with the experience gained through his association with his family business, led David to understand the importance of, and the process needed to protect, promote and develop lasting brand integrity.

Using this experience David recently set up a marketing company called Sculpt the Media that consults to a number of niche global corporate clients. Most recently Sculpt the Media took on the Laureus World Sports Awards and their social initiative, The Sport Change for Good foundation as a client.

Following his other passion, health, David completed an advanced Diploma in natural medicine. In 2002 David used this knowledge to start the process of setting up a naturopathic/ecological education centre in New Zealand, with the additional goal of pioneering new techniques to create a fully self-sufficient certified organic farm. He also focuses on raising the profile of sustainable farming, environment and natural medicine.
He currently resides in the UK and when not on expedition he can be found relaxing with his dogs Smudge and Nesta.
