I have known Dave since 2008 and am impressed with who he is as a professional and as a "family man". He pursues his goals with passion, and has a unique ability to provide candidness in a respectful way. Dave puts the team first and models his daily behavior against our systems' core vlues: customer focus, pursue common goals, integrity, innovation, family and perseverance.
