David possesses incredible skills of leadership, innovation, business strategy, plus an ability to take on various projects and execute them simultaneously. He was an integral part of a team I worked with on creating an online platform to spread awareness and start a dialog on the topic of "What does it mean to be human in the age of technology." David helped with creating our brand, online presence, and delivered a great product which helped launch and promote our conference. If you are looking for a strategic partner who will become a valuable member of your team, David is that person, he is direct, knowledgable, honest, with an incredible capability to deliver a great product.

David is an incredible leader, innovator, and social impact warrior. He has championed a number of new projects, all of which support the youth and their relationship with technology. He is incredible proactive when it comes to starting new initiatives, isn't afraid to take well-calculated chances, and keeps the wellbeing of his community at the front and center of all of his work. He is a powerful leader and communicator, knows how to support a team, and functions efficiently in the face of chage. Highly recommend working with him on anything!
