David Virgo


David was born in the Upper Great Southern region of Western Australia in a country town called Narrogin.

David completed Year 12 in Narrogin but in between spent 3 years attending Hale School. Being bought up in the country allowed David the opportunity to play a wide variety of sports. Showing promise in cricket and football these were the sports that he put most of his efforts into. He then moved up to Perth as soon as he finished Year 12 to focus on playing cricket. David was in the Western Australian state cricket squad for 4 years and to this day still holds the record for the highest individual score achieved on the Mt Lawley Cricket Club’s home ground. He captained the Mt Lawley cricket club and later on coached the club.

In May 2000 a diagnosis of Leukaemia turned David’s world upside down. This turned out to be a pivotal point in his life as it forced him to take stock and look at his own values and lifestyle, making him realise his passion was in assisting others to grow and develop. This is when he made the decision to get into the health and well being industry. He now runs his own health creation and performance enhancement company called Lifestyle Improvers where he specialises in assisting and teaching others to build mental resilience and lead a more engaged and directed life.

He is happily married to Adriana and they both share their lives with Sabina, Tyrone and Daniella in their beautiful self built family home in the Perth suburb of Morley. He can be found spending time with his kids, reading or surfing, a skill he only recently learnt.
