Dave is one of those rare coaches and agilists who not only understand the process and people side of agility but can also speak to the technical side of things. We pair-coached teams on TDD, refactoring, unit testing and other XP practices. Dave's real-world experience in these things really helped build credibility with developers, and Dave certainly showed he could walk the walk as well as he talked the talk. As an engagement lead, Dave led conversations with clients, managed expectations, and made sure we communicated progress on desired outcomes clearly to upper management. I loved collaborating with Dave on building and facilitating workshops and he was one of the people in our group that I always looked for opportunities to work with again. " and "I have had the privilege of working with Dave for the past few months. Dave's knowledge of agile development is outstanding. In addition, Dave's programming skills are well-suited for larger platforms - meaning that Dave is good at developing sophisticated, complex computer systems that are more robust than many of the "apps" that currently dominate the marketplace. Finally, Dave is a good communicator and listener. "
