Hi, I’m Dave … I’m a writer, journalist, speaker, husband, proud dad & somewhere along the line I became a YouTuber too.
I was a reporter for 10 years, covering crime, politics and crocodile attacks for major Australian and international newspapers. I met hundreds of amazing people (most of them unsung heroes), swam with dolphins and sharks. After that I worked full-time with youth and ran an organisation that, amongst other things, staged massive all-ages concerts.
More recently, much of my energy has been directed online, working with my super-smart wife Ann Reardon on HowToCookThat – one of the world’s favourite online lifestyle shows with 5M subscribers and millions of views each month.
Along the way, I’ve ghostwritten books for some good people, had a non-fiction leadership book published and wrote an award-winning Young Adult novel ‘The Deep Enders’. The sequel called ‘Deadline’ will be published by Bonhomie Press in late 2024.
You’re welcome to follow me on Instagram @docreardon (although I rarely post) and enjoy our family’s adventures at howtocookthat … here’s a recent one below!
