David has continued his impressive involvement in the sport in many ways from coaching to administration. Following the 1984 Kings Cup Regatta, David's career took him overseas for 17 years. During this time he was an active member of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club - Rowing Section  (1984-1993) and Walton Rowing Club, England (1993 - 2001). Upon return to Australia he immersed himself actively at MUBC and assisted the women's, club and men's lightweight squads as a coach. He was Finance Director of Rowing Australia from 2007 - 2009 and also has served as a board member.
