David's deep knowledge of direct marketing, vendor management, and project management was hugely valuable to me at Sage Software. David joined my team via a reorganization and I was not only pleased at the outset due to David's reputation in the company but later came to realize David's knowledge and skills where even stronger that I expected. In terms of working style, I always appreciated David's candor, brevity, and humor. In short, an employee I highly recommend.

I have worked with David for nearly a year and I have been increasingly impressed with his resourcefulness, tremendous work ethic, and humility. I have come to refer to David as "the man with the metrics", helping to make sure that all of our marketing programs are measurable and measured. David has shown the ability to balance creativity, analytical rigor and strategic focus, tempered with good, old-fashioned common sense and operational practicality. It has indeed been a pleasure to work with David.
