Look for compromising situations. Build Character.

David has worked in all the major BC industries, hired and trained hundreds of staff, he writes, he has taught and presented worldwide, he built and sailed a boat across the pacific with his children, he instructed skiing, he developed adventure outdoor programs for people with disabilities, and has produced a documentary on brain injuries.

Achieving success and happiness can be about taking chances. Living on the pointy end for him means living life to the fullest of our potential. Often we can be paralyzed with fear... This can lead to inactivity and staying stuck. From personal stories about serious injury recovery to extreme adventure a theme emerges—fear management prevails.

Drawing upon years of adventure, David looks at ways to turn the everyday into "The Day!"

Asking tough questions about who we are, David looks at ways to self-motivate. Humorous stories include Horse Riding Made Easy, How to Build a Sailboat Starting with a Hammer and What is Extreme? Sometimes by accident, sometimes by design, life ends up being all about the story.

From the simple to the ridiculous, David looks at fun ways to stay sharp.
