David's law qualifications and life experience
David has a Bachelor of Law from Edith Cowan University and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Australian National University. He also holds a Graduate Diploma in Management from the Australian Graduate School of Management.
Starting his career in the Royal Australian Navy at 16, David travelled extensively in several roles, culminating with the position of Naval aircrewman in rotary wing aircraft.
"The photo below was taken in 1993, while I was serving as a member of the Royal Australian Navy on board a Navy hydrographic vessel," he says. "It shows the ship's helicopter transferring equipment for hydrographic survey work to Elcho Island which you can just make out in the distance.
"Elcho Island is part of the Cape Wessels archipelago in Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory. Galiwin'ku is the only town on the island, and is also the Aboriginal name for the whole island.
"The photo is of sentimental value for me, in that the person hanging out of the helicopter on the right is actually a much younger me!"
On completion of his engagement, David held a variety of business management, service delivery, and sales positions across manufacturing, hospitality, finance, and membership organisations.
Operating a human resources consultancy while undertaking his studies allowed him to serve the local community as a Justice of the Peace in the West Australian Magistrates Court.
On admission to the Supreme Court of Western Australia, David practised family law along with estate planning and litigation. On moving to Canberra in 2020, he practised across a range of areas, including assisting Legal Aid clients, before moving to Yass to work across all areas in a country practice.
This combination of legal and commercial experience brings a broad perspective to the advice and assistance David provides to clients.
He returned to Canberra and worked in a professional services firm, before joining KJB Law in July 2024.
Outside Interests
David was born and raised in Perth and has a keen love of the outdoors, especially walking and bike riding, and he greatly enjoys exploring Canberra’s food and small distillery scene.
A dab hand in the kitchen, he loves spending downtime creating food that ranges from traditional baking through to catering for elegant dinner parties for friends and family.
“Coming to the law later in life has given me a great background of life experiences and a keenly developed understanding of what people are looking for," he says. "These are the things that help me provide the best possible outcomes for people who are looking to me for help.”
