During my tenure at TCC, I could see Dave definitely focused on projects and produced results. I admired his ability to build a team and mentor his student athletes, who in many respects modeled his leadership and dedication. Dave's contributions to the department and the college are well noted, and long lasting, evidenced in the expansion of programs and the attraction of student athletes from highly competitive markets. Dave's personal approach was certainly a key to those positive developments.
