Sr Program Manager

David possesses a unique blend of kindness, intelligence, and patience that sets him apart as a leader. His mentorship style is characterized by a genuine commitment to helping his team members think creatively and outside the box. David is a true advocate for the "human-first" approach to leadership.

Preston Cone

CEO @ Approved Social.io

During my career to date I have not seen a more qualified and dedicated team leader/manager. Now, as I own two different agencies, if I had a position that needed his skills I would hire David in a heartbeat.

Cameron Diamond

Account Manager

I believe his best qualities lie in his ability to come up with innovative ways to motivate the team as well as the respect he provides every member

I’m not sure what was the best part about having David as a manager - the fact that he will take time out of his day to teach you how to properly maneuver the espresso machine at work, or that he does so with genuine interest and follows through to ensure you know how to get the job done. He’s one of those people who says “there are no silly questions, so ask away!” and sincerely means it.

John Vishnesky

Owner, Nimble Fox Marketing

David is hands down one of the best leaders I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He seems to know the answer to any digital marketing question you can throw at him and if he doesn't, he won't rest until he finds it. He's also one of the most understanding and thoughtful people you'll ever come across.
