Dave live’s on an acreage outside of Brisbane with his wonderful wife and four beautiful kids. As a Dad, he’s constantly running around doing ‘Dad’ things, like sitting patiently while his girls are doing Dance lessons, or cheering for his son on the soccer sideline. As a musician, Dave is always looking for opportunities to play and share his music. Sometimes it’s all perfectly in balance and it feels like he’s got it all together… and other times… {erm, coughs}.
