Thank you for being the backbone of our agenda and for setting the mood for us to think critically.  I cannot say enough about how well you wear your multiple hats: facilitator, presenter, philosopher, speaker and all-around good guy.  Thank you for making it all come together for us. In addition, what fun we had!

David brought energy, enthusiasm and passion to the Maui AIDS Foundation. His knowledge and skill around scenario planning, management training, and board development were cutting edge and superb.  David’s ability to coach me was invaluable, and his frankness and directness were refreshing.  Nothing gets by him – and that is a good thing.  David “put it all together” with us, not to us, and was an immense help focusing the entire organization on next steps during a turbulent time.
