• Later he became the exclusive distributor for Jordan Dental Care Products in Australia and New Zealand and increased distribution and sales to levels never achieved before or since his involvement.
• David’s love of his native Australian wide brown land and its’ fascinating history, when combined with his passion for travel to places “off the beaten track”, and his desire to share these experiences with others, led him to become one of Australia’s most respected 4WD off-road tour guides.

It was through this business that David met his future life partner when Gudrun decided to join one of David’s 4WD tours to Tasmania in February 2004.

David and Gudrun together:

• In late 2006, David and Gudrun were introduced to the concept of a stored-value debit card product. This opportunity knocked at a perfect time in their lives, as they were looking for a business they could build together, sharing their formidable life skills and experiences. They remain involved with this endeavor and want to introduce a new break-through product in this field in the near future. Regrettably the Global Financial Crisis has made forward progress in this business extremely difficult, if not impossible so the project is on the back-burner for the time being.
• In view of the above David and Gudrun are in the process of buying a blue-water sailing catamaran they will use for catamaran sailing training, orientation programs for those interested to “touch and feel” a big cat before buying one, and of course for charter work. This vessel will be the prime mover for their new “Edu-Cat” interests and recently they formed an association called “Edu-Cat-Malaysia” to implement and promote various “Clean Up The World” initiatives, activities and on-going education and awareness campaigns about the need for everyone to accept their personal responsibility for taking much better care of our community, our place and our planet.
• In 2005 David and Gudrun were introduced to the  “Neways Healthy Homes” concept by their dear friends Peter Anton and Marie-France Garon. This was the start of a realization that most of today’s “health and beauty” products and products used to “clean” our homes contain carcinogenic, toxic and harmful ingredients. Being passionate about our environment and looking after our bodies properly, it was easy for us to substitute the consumer packaged goods and supplements we used for Neways “safe” products and to tell our friends about this discovery. That is how easy it is to become a Neways product user and if you wish, to build a home based business at the same time.
• David and Gudrun love to travel the world and spread the word about how everyone can help to prevent any further environmental degradation by adopting cleaner and greener habits and practices, assisting with “Clean Up The World” activities and promotion and using personal care, nutritional supplements and house-hold cleaning products that do not contain any harmful ingredients.
