"Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not "making friends and influencing people", that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations."
Peter Drucker

Recommendations (a few)
Chad Young - CEO of Norvado
II had the pleasure of working with Dave extensively during my time at TDS. He is a wealth of knowledge and a true professional. His knowledge of our industry and telelcommunications technology is truly outstanding. I know he goes out of his way to ensure that the clients he deals with are well supported, receive exceptional solutions, and can rely on him to care for their best interests. His dedication, work ethic, and the fact that he is just great to work with clearly set him apart from his peers.
Colette Sorgel - Past VP TDS
IAs a VP at TDS, I oversaw multiple teams and Dave provided technical IT solutions to large enterprise clients, and handled one of the largest customers for our company. He had a solid technical foundation and was able to explain things in business terms to the customers. Dave is good at building team unity inside the company and listening to customers. Dave also volunteered time for annual conferences and went above and beyond. He took the work seriously and continued to excel in the company.
Austin Park - CEO Sapphire Health
I've known Dave for what seemed like decades in the industry, before actually having the chance to work directly with him at the same company. He always had one of the best reputations in the industry and now, I know why first hand. He is the ultimate professional; well prepared, highly detail orientated, and extremely knowledgeable of the IT and communications industry. What I appreciate the most about Dave is his unwavering optimism and his ability to bring out the best in anyone. He has done that for me on numerous occasions and I am grateful to have had the privilege.
