Dave did not start competing untill he was in his late 40's. He is an absolute credit to himself and a role model to others. He never misses a session and is always the first one in the door. In 2022, all of Dave's hard work was rewarded when he was selected to represent England at the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships.
