David Tomchak is a journalist and producer for the BBC working primarily in TV News. He is also the managing director of Nuuvox - formerly known as Euston Productions - a video content production company specializing in 'bite-size' content.
His broadcasting career started at the BBC Radio Cambridge 'Action' desk in 2003, where he worked as a volunteer and then freelancer.
In 2004 David joined the BBC World Service working as a broadcast assistant for the BBC Caribbean Service. In 2005 he started working as a freelance producer and reporter for the department. Interviewees ranged from Bill Wyman to Baroness Amos. After a successful 'Christmas special' in 2005, David worked as a freelance presenter for BBC Caribbean Magazine - a long running radio programme broadcast by the BBC World Service and partner stations across the Caribbean. He continued to work part-time on the programme until mid-2008.
In late 2006 David was hired as the project coordinator for the BBC World Service's Arabic TV project. The project brought the World Service and the BBC its first non-English speaking, rolling news TV channel and its first fully operational international, multi-media newsroom in early 2008. He has also worked as a freelance producer for ITN.
David currently works across the various TV output and media-management departments at BBC News in west London.
Born in Aberdeen, David's family lived in the US, France and Scotland. He finished school at Banff Academy and subsequently studied international relations and modern history as a joint honours degree at St. Andrews University before undertaking a masters degree in international relations at the University of Cambridge (Selwyn).
From 2000-2003 David worked in the investment bank division of JP Morgan Chase.
