Bio
Gerry Pearson
I've worked with Dave for over ten years. In that time, I've seen him build a lab (I don't mean a "lab system", I mean an entire, multi-rack lab including A/C, power, and cabling - literally from the ground up), design and build a voice and data network, build a two-armed firewall, and install and configure multiple IP-PBXs from various vendors. I've also watched Dave successfully manage groups of engineers on two continents. Where Dave really excels, though, is in a customer-facing project management role. He does not promise what he cannot deliver, and is diligent in delivering what he has promised. If a project has gone off track for any reason, Dave is straight with the customer and tells them the true story - and is then ready with an action plan to get the project back on track. Co-workers and customers alike have come to expect from him professionalism, competence, dedication, and integrity. I would gladly work with Dave again in any role - managerial or technical.

David is an extremely knowledgeable and well-respected person in the space of OEM interoperability with telecom service providers and has strong in Cisco Networking skill. He has worked with me as the Product Manager at Cox Communication for 3 of years, during which we have completed 36 annual IP PBX validations or OEM Certifications. David continues to be my one stop for technical guidance regarding pipeline and break-fix situations. Due directly to David’s involvement, the team he assembled and his connections with many PBX manufacturers we always come to an agreement that is best for his company, my company and most importantly my business partners and customers. As a business partner, David is always available. On several occasions, he has either called me or emailed me while on PTO. I’m very happy with the work David and his team do and how he holds himself and his team accountable for the work they have completed and I give him my full recommendation.
