Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Dave at Sentry and would recommend him to any company looking for management expertise with no fluff. Dave is direct to the point and doesn't sugar coat which is very much appreciated. Dave is very good at understanding team dynamics and employee behaviors. Based on his experience and that knowledge he can put his team in a position to be successful.", "I had the opportunity of working with Dave during my time at Sentry Insurance. What I liked about Dave is that he was not afraid to speak his mind and he does it in a very business appropriate way. He manages to set realistic expectations with stakeholders and management and sets the project team up for success. He deals with challenges head on rather than wishing that they go away. I personally found Dave to be a very supportive manager when I was asked to lead a very critical project. Dave keeps an eye on issues from tactical and strategic perspective but stays away from micro-management. Dave is a versatile manager and it was very evident because he kept getting more responsibilities. Dave would be a tremendous asset to any IT organization.", and "Dave finds the rare balance between high level strategic management of a project and its resources along with keeping an eye on the tactical details of the project's implementation; he is neither a micromanager nor a detached laissez-faire figurehead. Dave kept the team informed of the decisions being made at the higher levels - both project and management wise - and how that would impact our work at the ground level. In addition to keeping the team in the loop, he is always willing to lend an ear to give feedback or simply be a venting board when frustrations would arise elsewhere. He manages to keep a level head and positive attitude when expectations or delivery dates shift, and makes the best of the situation. On a high profile project with all eyes on it, Dave kept the team delivering even in times of stress to successful completion with extremely positive customer feedback. Dave's quick wit and fun sense of humor kept the team laughing and in high spirits. Even with his years of experience and being the manager, Dave felt like "part of the team" thanks to his humility and down to earth attitude. Dave's experience combined with his refreshing honesty ensured the team knew expectations, stayed focused, and consistently delivered at a high level of quality without sacrificing a positive working environment."
