David initially started his career in JPMorgan London in 1999 and later in JPMorgan Asia until 2002.

David then pioneered into the emerging market of China where he founded the multi award winning real estate investment company "Shanghai Vision Ltd" in 2002. In just 11 months Shanghai Vision Ltd had sales offices in Ireland, UK and Australia. The headquarters in Shanghai, which included a mortgage broking division, facilitated the sale of over 600 residential apartments to individual non-Chinese investors. In late 2005 "Shanghai Vision Ltd" was sold in a successful MBO (Management Buy Out). David then founded a rental and property management company in Shanghai, "Shanghai Vision Asset Management Ltd", with over USD$184 million AUM (Assets Under Management).

Yet another company founded by David is the ecommerce travel website ourexplorer.com, which was created in June 2008 with a purpose to help local communities earn more income and facilitate travellers to explore the world through the eyes of a local professional tour guide.

David now lives in Australia where he features in business publications such as "Secrets of Top Sales Professionals Exposed" and "The power of more than one".
