A Bredesen Protocol™ Facilitator, Dave is a specialist in the field of performance, productivity and cellular optimization and has helped people know vitality at a whole new level through his charity, as a educator, doctor, and health coach. Note: Dave is registered as a doctor in New Zealand, however, is not currently practicing as one and offers services as a consultant and coach).
After graduating from Otago University Medical School in 1982, his extraordinary career began with developing one of the largest rural medical practices in New Zealand with 6,500 patients; then retiring as a doctor to pursue education as a Senior Lecturer at Auckland Medical School; to Executive Director of a large multinational healthcare program in Asia; to SurfAid, an award-winning charity he founded in 2000. Dave’s achievements have been recognised many times over, including being a top ten semi-finalist for New Zealander of the year in 2012.
A world class educator, international speaker and trainer, he is passionate about reducing disease and suffering on a global scale and helping people reach their optimal self. SurfAid programs have reduced mother and infant mortality rates in the villages where they operate, reduced the incidence of malaria in these locations and prepare residents for emergencies such as earthquakes and tsunamis through their unique "emergency preparedness programs".
Dave's interest in Alzheimer's Disease resulted from both of his parents being told by their doctors that "nothing could be done, get your affairs in order", yet Dave found through extensive research that symptoms of cognitive decline were being reversed in America since 2014 by a protocol developed by Professor Dale Bredesen - "I became personally invested in the potential of preventing and reversing symptoms of cognitive decline after both of my parents were diagnosed with dementia. I am committed to helping as many people as possible improve their circumstances through education, consulting and coaching".
