• About David

  Born in Essex in 1977, David began working in the media in his native county the 1990s, at the age of just 18. He initially worked as a reporter and newsreader for commercial radio and then with his local BBC station, BBC Essex. In 2001 he moved to Norfolk to become a television reporter for BBC Look East, working on the programme for 18 months and winning a Royal Television Society award in the process. 

  In 2003 he became the presenter of Look East’s sister programme, the regional current affairs series Inside Out on BBC One. He has presented Inside Out ever since, also working as a director and producer on the programme. His other television work has included the nationally-networked BBC One documentary The Village That’s Falling Into the Sea, about the damaging effects of the December 2013 storm surge at Hemsby on the east coast of Norfolk, and the Star Wars documentary The Galaxy Britain Built for BBC Four.

  From the mid-2000s, David often stood in as a programme presenter for BBC Radio Norfolk, before landing a regular job at the station in January 2010 as the presenter of the Saturday breakfast show. He continued to present Saturday breakfast until August 2016, when he stood down to concentrate on presenting Treasure Quest, which he took over in May 2016, and on his television work.

  Outside of work, David has great passions for surfing and for the Star Wars films, both of which receive frequent mentions on his radio shows! He is married to fellow BBC television presenter Amelia Reynolds, and they live in South Norfolk with their two daughters.
