Trustee

Joined ARC Board – 2023

After obtaining a degree and professional qualifications in management, David worked initially in the Netherlands and France and then operated aircraft and boats in the Caribbean and South America before fully taking up corporate life. This life took him all over the world – living and working in multiple countries and cultures before retiring to SWFL in 2000. During those periods he worked with street dogs in South America and became a certified marine mammal medic in the South Atlantic. Since “retiring” David has undertaken various board-level consultancy and contract roles in the USA, the UK, Dubai, and the Falkland Islands as well as being a Trustee of a 501(c)(3) charity in Ft Myers. David has been a volunteer at ARC since May, 2022, is a Mentor on the dog-side, and leads the new Dog Adoptability Program. He is also a wildlife rescuer with Peace River Wildlife in Punta Gorda. He and his wife have been adopting mature dogs from rescues and shelters for many years. David joined the ARC Board of Trustees in 2023.
