While he was younger, he originally aspired to become a veterinarian but then because his grades were not high enough, he went to study multimedia computing instead. While studying, he worked at the Auto Express as a delivery man. After graduating from the University of Gloucestershire and attending a Marketing degree, he joined a modeling contest called This Morning and was instantly noticed when he won it. Soon after, he was signed to Select Model Management and got several modeling projects for various companies including Zara, Shiatzy Chen, Gant U.S.A., 7 for all Mankind, Hugo Boss, Russell & Bromley, H&M, and many others. He eventually became famous when he was signed as the face and endorser of the fragrance “Light Blue” in 2010. Until these days, David is still one of the most highly-requested male models in the fashion world.
