Expert Storyteller Founds Coffee Creative

David is a journalist, documentary filmmaker, author and marketer. Above all, his passion is as a storyteller. 

As a content specialist David has around two decades of experience in videography, photography, copywriting. He has skills as a video director, producer and video editor. David has provided multi-sector content marketing across multiple platforms including YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Numerous publications have commissioned his work including Australian Geographic, The Independent (London), The Courier-Mail, The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Canberra Times, The West Australian, The New Zealand Herald, Inside Sport, Out There Magazine and RM Williams Outback Magazine among others. 

He wrote his first non-fiction book in 2008 for the Queensland Hotels Association called Raising the Bar - a post-war history of the Hotels industry in Queensland.  

David’s second book Life in the Saddle was published by Penguin Random House in 2014. David is currently working on his first novel The Sign of the Cross.

David moved into documentary production in 2012. David has produced material for ABC and SBS, including a successful pilot for SBS Food called Life of Pie under his previous business, 4G Productions’ umbrella. That business transformed into a full-service marketing agency called Coffee Creative. Although David’s speciality remains as a content producer. And with good reason.

As Literary Agent Benython Oldfield said, “David is an enchanting storyteller. He has an essential understanding of self that enables him to explore the story of others by first confronting his own life experiences to find empathy or understanding for the plight of characters or story subjects.

Simply put, he knows how to get the reader to “walk around in another’s shoes,” to laugh and cry with that character. Moreover, David’s work shows an insistence on research, and a deeper and broader understanding of others."
