Dave, the current writer of this blog, is the Corporate & Charity Events Coordinator for Pinnacle Pursuits. My experience lies primarily in outdoor adventure tourism throughout Ireland, Europe and Canada. In addition, I received my masters in Creativity and Innovation from the University of Malta and love to bring both of those elements to the fore in all my endeavors. Meanwhile, I have a keen interest in business development, motivational techniques, progressive mental health tools and all things outdoors. My writing will typically touch on any and all of those matters while occasionally sprinkling in some humor and hopefully positively impacting any reader.
