David Lodge possesses expertise in sound design, sound, musicians, composition, music and 18 more skills. He is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "I'm thankful to David for his time managing me. I never felt micro-managed or stifled; the attitude of results/deliverables-based managing worked extremely well for our team and I learned a lot from David's approach to it. He has an excellent sense for when to push back on an unrealistic ask - and when to bite your tongue. There are a lot of nuances of navigating internal production within a larger organization that he imparted and was always happy to share. His multi-decade experience playing with Don Carlos also provides a whole library of allegories and war stories - many of which teach applicable lessons when applied to a more corporate context. I'm grateful for all of them." and "An exceptional manager, team member, and all-around cool guy! I had the pleasure of working with David ("Hodge") at Smule for nearly 3 years. He is a manager who puts pride in his work and truly cares about his team. Hodge is well organized and attentive to detail which was extremely necessary in our fast-paced environment. I knew I could always count on him that nothing would fall through the cracks. Our group always had many projects going at once and Hodge made a point to regularly check in on each team member making sure they could carry their workload. If adjustments were needed, he would make them efficiently and seamlessly so that quality was never compromised. Hodge is a strong asset as a manager and team member."
