Dennis Reid, MA-PC, LSS

David is a top performer with the interest of the total team in mind and heart. He can be depended on without supervision to get the job done right the first time exceeding any leader's expectation. He understands leader's intent and without a doubt can make a decision based on this intent as if the leader made it him/herself.

Dave is a self starter and has wealth of experience in maintenance related efforts including retrofit and sustainment services. He has Management experience and knows how to allocate and coordinate those resources to ensure all tasks he is responsible get accomplished on schedule. Dave is also inovative in his approach to business practices and thinks outside the boxe to meet desired objectives and standards. Would recommend him highly!
