The Rock-It Man
Born and raised in the rolling country hills of Yorkshire, England David left school in 1995 to begin work at a corporate bank. "Banking seems a world away from the physical intensity of stone masonry, but it was a good experience and I enjoyed it immensely. However, I always knew that my long term future lay in something more practical. Stone work fitted the bill perfectly."
After leaving banking aged 21, David travelled alone across Europe for four months, an experience which he believes shaped his life dramatically. "It was a wonderful adventure, hard work at times, but it gave me a love of travelling and meeting new people."
David continued to travel and spent the next couple of years working as a hydraulic fitter in many sites throughout Europe. "I worked in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and even on the construction of the Millennium Dome, now the O2 Arena, in London. It was a wonderful time in my life."
