Dave has been skydiving for forty years after his sister convinced him to accompany her on a static-line jump.

She stopped; he carried on, renewing his love of adrenaline-fuelled activities when his daughter wanted to do a skydive for her 16^th birthday. Thinking he’d like to be able to jump with her, Dave brushed off his skills and never looked back. He’s now qualified as a tandem instructor, AFF instructor, camera flyer, and has also competed in four-way formation skydiving.

Outside of skydiving, Dave also has a black belt in Judo, which he used to coach and managed his local Judo Club. He spent twenty-five years as a reservist with the Royal Yeomanry as a physical training Instructor, and before concentrating on Skydiving, he used to be a driving instructor, so teaching is another of his passions.

He also likes to help his wife, author Poppy Flynn, research her smutty, BDSM spanking books with a lot of practical, hands-on exploration. He’s a master at tying knots, and she says he has magic fingers. 😉
