David was brought up on a family dairy farm in Cheshire. While continuing his involvement in the family’s 80 cow dairy. David began augmenting his skill set by becoming accomplished in many different areas of cattle reproduction, animal husbandry and the practical education of others in these areas within the Embryonics umbrella.
David’s journey then took another major step in 2010 with his appointment at Morsan Farms in Alberta, Canada. There he oversaw the day to day development and management of their elite show herd, and managed the ever expanding embryo transfer program.
A further career advancement came when asked by Westgen (Semex Can) in 2013 to lead and develop the establishment of a Bovine IVF facility in British Columbia, Canada. Working alongside Westgen and Boviteq, Boviteq West was established.
Having taken the decision to return to the UK David’s first phone call was to Embryonics, on returning he has turned his experience to many of the training courses that Embryonics provides.
