• MFC 1999 BEST AND FAIREST AWARD
• recruited from Sunbury
• debuted in 1991

• 195 cm tall (that is tall)

• has appalling taste in music (has quoted his fave band as being Fleetwood Mac, and had Kiss posters in his bedroom when he was growing up)
• his fave live band is Andrew Hoskings
• although his fave CD is 'The 12th Man', so his taste can't be all bad

• is a Leo
• his fave colour is blue

• he part owns a pub called the Crockford Bay, a funky pub on the corner of Crockford and Bay streets in Port Melbourne (thanks Nicki!)
• gotta love his sense of humour... eg: Q: "What do you like most in a sandwich?"... A: "Bread" :)

• Please note... I didn't want to include anything too personal on this site. David has been through some tough times in his life, which make all that he's achieved so much more special. Rotary and the Victorian Department of Education have recognized David in their "Achievers Against the Odds" awards. Check out their site for the details of these awards. Their pages about Schwarta include a detailed biography of his life, so if you want to know about his personal history, check that out. And to Rotary and the Ed. Dept. - thanks for recognizing David for being the legend he is!!!
