Very much appreciated." and "Dave is a person that I really enjoy working with. He's a great team player, and sets a high bar for hard work, diligence, and attention to important details. He has a very good understanding of engineering process, and a good sense of when to ratchet up the discipline when the measurements of a project indicate the need. He's got some of the best project management skills that I've seen, and has successfully mentored many PMs in the years that I've known him. As he's taken on higher levels of responsibility, Dave continues to apply these basic principles to his work. Dave shows a great deal of flexibility in his approach to his job, and understands the importance of a personal connection to each member of his team, as well as his peer group. His ego-less approach to his job makes him someone that quickly earns trust."
