I had the pleasure of hiring David as a Personal Trainer at the in December of 2017. During our time together he was the most beloved and skilled of our trainers. He works excellently with people, and his knowledge of physiology and fitness is all but unmatched. David worked one-on-one with clients, who were working on general fitness goals but also specialized in injury rehabilitation, developed fitness plans, and designed individual workout regimens. He had a large list of clients wishing to work with him, and he was able to help people achieve spectacular results with various different goals. David’s interpersonal skills, his fitness knowledge and abilities, and his diligent work ethic made him a perfect candidate to grow within our organization. Upon earning the promotion to Fitness Manager and Senior Personal trainer at a neighboring location I had the pleasure of watching him accomplish and exceed personal and club sales quotas through development of a high performing team of personal trainers and sales associates. David truly cares about his clients and has the skills to develop programs that will truly help them. I highly recommend David, not only as a personal trainer but as a manager of people who is capable of adapting to an ever changing industry and creating a culture of service.

I had the pleasure of working with David on many projects during my tenure at Clark Planetarium. David demonstrates his artistic skills through creating incredibly detailed visuals for the dome theater environment and pays attention to emerging trends in the industry. He also possesses a wealth of technical knowledge, which proves valuable to many in the organization. In fact, my ability to work smarter and faster came from suggestions and enhancements David made to my workstation. David is creative, compassionate and shows a commitment to growth through the projects he works on. I hope to have an opportunity to collaborate with him again.
