I have had the privilege of working for David at Cook for a short time but in that short time not only did i get to know him as my manager but also as my friend. In my 18 years in the industry I have never worked for a better manager. David is always available to work through any issue we come across or just to listen and say "You guys are rocking it". I hope to work with David for a long time to come! Thank you Mr Butler.
