Bio
Rich Brown
Dave is one of those unique individuals you only run across a few of in your lifetime. As a vendor, his 'just the right amount' of attention was not only appreciated, but highly valued. His product knowledge is encyclopedic, and is delivered in a manner which makes you want to listen. Many with his depth and grasp of logic can leave you with the impression of condescension, not Dave. He's patient, gracious, and a huge asset to his company. His leadership qualities are obvious, the biggest being by example. I highly and absolutely unequivocally recommend Dave, either as an employee, colleague, leader, or vendor. He's simply one of the best.
Maureen Culp
Once every so often, you come across an employee who surprises you. Surprises you by exceeding expectations, by grasping for innovative ways to succeed, by embracing your own corporate culture and making it their own; by 'getting it.' This special employee sees that working with you to make your company succeed will also enable them to be successful, rather than simply going along for the ride. Dave was just such an employee. He has an entrepreneurial spirit and can see business opportunities and build relationships easily. He always maintains a professional, positive, honest attitude (and a sense of humor) even in difficult situations. I would highly recommend Dave and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
