Before joining Summit, Dave completed a degree at the University of Lincoln in BA Hons Electronic Business and Commerce, achieving a 2:1. The degree was the first of its kind to focus on online and inspired Dave to seek a role within the industry following graduation.
Outside of work, Dave is a keen sports fan (both watching and taking part) and likes football, rugby, badminton and tennis. He also enjoys attending gigs and concerts across a wide variety of music genres. Dave’s recently started going to the gym in an attempt to keep fit.
I like taking part in (and attending) various sporting events, including watching Hull FC. I've recently got into running, so have started training in my free time. I’ve also just learnt to ski and this has become my new passion.
Delivering to set targets and goals, both professionally and personally, and working to the best of my abilities.
No one would describe my hidden talent as being related to DIY or any manual work. Although one of my favourite passions is attending the local takeaway, I do surprise people with the food I cook when I make the effort!
I enjoy spending time with my friends: attending gigs, sporting events and going out socialising.
