Senior Conceptual Copywriter & Slavid

David Schild

David Schild joined Quirk Jozi in August 2011. After finishing up at St.Benedict’s College, he pursued his passion for writing at the University of Johannesburg where he completed an undergrad in Journalism before scooping his Honours and Masters in Politics.

Also nicknamed “Rib” (don’t ask), David says his days before joining the QuirkStation involved late nights, terrorism research (?) and endowing the youth of South Africa with pearls of wisdom. Luckily, his older brother encouraged him to explore a life online and that’s when he discovered Quirk. Yay us! He brings a taste of eagerness, entertainment and awkward silences to the Station, along with a penchant for soaking up useless bits of information.

David’s got a special place in his heart for his Xbox, guitar and his four furry mutts. He’s opinionated, has a cracker sense of humour and says he’ll always be a 9 year old at heart. And in case you didn’t know… David was born with a split tongue. Yes, ssssseriously.
