David’s strengths are many. He is an excellent communicator, who has a great technical and creative skill-set. These strengths definitely contribute to what he does well, but it is his attitude and the way he approaches his work that really make him a valuable asset to the university. He is an excellent producer, great editor, and even better teammate.
