After five years, we finally have Dave stepping into the spotlight to share a bit of his story! Those who know Dave understand that he would prefer to work behind the scenes, keep his head down and support families and individuals, no matter the time or day. But today, we are flipping the script and shining a light on Dave’s history, background and delving into the values that have shaped both him and YCM as a whole! Look through the photos to read about his story ⬇️
While Dave’s journey through sport has taken him across the globe, he still retains the family and community oriented focus ingrained into him throughout his upbringing in the small town of Kadina. Since returning to his home state and starting Your Choice Matters as a sole-trader in November 2020, the business has provided countless hours of exceptional care and service to NDIS participants across SA. Although the business grows each year, the values, ethos and vision have remained the same. This is very much a testament to Dave’s messaging and leadership, in which the goal has always been to help individuals “lead meaningful life and enjoy enriching life experiences, chosen by how and who they want to be supported by”.
Outside of YCM, Dave is a devoted father to his two lovely young children Summer and Arlo, we can’t forget his two dogs Lacie and Sev and of course his lovely wife Jess. Jess is Dave’s biggest cheerleader and a constant behind the scenes supporter at YCM, so we thank her ongoing encouragement, patience and support of all things YCM since the beginning! Apart from spending quality time at home, Dave is an avid (and not too shabby) golfer and also loves staying active. He might also occasionally wind down with a good crime show! ⛳️ 📺
From the YCM team, we thank Dave for his tireless efforts and leadership! And we look forward to seeing him evolve as we continue to service the community 🤗
