I plan on saving for a masters in nutrition & Strength & conditioning over the coming year"

We all have the tipping point, which would change the course of life. For David, his dad has been the inspiration for life, where he attended every game he played as a kid to a date where he gave up carpentry after the downfall of construction industry. This is the phase where David found his calling in the health and fitness sector.
