David completed his Leaving Certificate in Coláiste Mhuire Johnstown in 2010 and studied agricultural science in UCD for four years.
From there he worked with Teagasc in Kilkenny as a farm advisor and in 2015 he made the decision to move to New Zealand, where he worked on three different dairy farms over a three-year period.
On his return to Ireland in 2015, David was offered a number of farm manager positions and again opted to partner up with Teagasc in Kilkenny. He gave one year with them in Greenfields Dairy.
