“I had the privilege of working with David for over 20 years. During this time, I observed first hand his maturity and business judgment. David headed both the human resource group and a business operations group. He was successful in building and maintaining relationships which allowed him to develop the mutual trust and respect of not only his peers but also those that worked for him. Throughout our time working together David remained a key confidant and I always benefitted from his perspective, input and counsel.”

“David began as my leadership coach during a period of intense organizational change and growth for Generation Citizen. In our short engagement, David had an indelible, lasting impact on our organization’s trajectory, and on my own leadership skills. Through a comprehensive 360, and bi-weekly sessions, David and I put together an ambitious leadership action plan, which has helped me to improve communication with staff, organize time, and delegate more effectively and efficiently. The main reason that David was able to break through and make a difference is that he cares: the energy and passion he put into helping me develop into a better leader was incredibly authentic. This same attitude will help anybody David works with in the future.”
– Scott Warren, Executive Director, Generation Citizen
