Jonathon Byrdziak - Marketing Specialist
There's project managers and then there's David, a cut above the rest. This gentlemen not only managed the projects with detail and ease, but managed the people with better diplomacy than HR. There were times when the teams were at opposite ends of the project and David was able to bring everybody together in win-win situations. I'm impressed, humbled and grateful to think of David as a friend and colleague. Thanks for being there David, I appreciate you.

David Kelman and I had worked together at Tedder Industries, where he worked as a Project Manager and I worked in the HR Dept as a Recruiter. David has incredibly strong leadership skills, critical thinking skills, ethical practices and commitment to project execution from beginning to end. David can see and address everything from the big picture to the details. He is creative, energetic, solutions orientated, and highly motivated with phenomenal communication skills. He would be an asset to any company that he is with.
