“David is an incredible employee who was a pleasure to work with for ~2 years when I oversaw his marketing projects at Chive Media Group. David brought a unique creative spin to projects and truly made our lives so much easier as an in-house marketing team with his ability to transform a rough concept into a polished idea in a short time frame. David works quickly and without complaint, and I consider him one of the most efficient coworkers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. After moving on from Chive Media Group, I find myself already missing the team dynamic we had where we efficiently completed fast-paced projects together on sometimes chaotic timelines. David was an asset to my team at Chive Media Group, and I am confident he will continue to be a valuable asset wherever he may take his talents in the future."

“David's creative eye, professionalism and customer service orientation is unmatched. From 2017 - 2020, he served as the event photographer and lead creative consultant for my nonprofit, Code2College. Any time David hinted at leaving the Austin area, I would spend a great deal of effort trying to convince him otherwise. I'm grateful for the three years he shared his talent with our organization and the impact that he's made through his incredibly rich photos can be seen via our social media and published content. He would be an asset to any creative agency and team."

"I had the pleasure of hiring David at Hello Fearless to head up our creative team where he was responsible for the creative concepting and brand development for our entire company rebrand, as well as creating all of the brand identity for future products and programs. He was our very first hire, and we knew instantly that we had struck the jackpot. David's breadth of knowledge based on his extensive agency + consulting background across all digital and non-digital mediums is unmatched -- not to mention his ability to think strategically as it relates to all of the design elements that support massive, integrated marketing campaigns. He's a kind, dependable, resourceful team player who has the capacity to not only lead teams (including copy, media production, etc.), but also not above executing any task assigned on time and beyond expectations. In addition, whether it's learning new digital tools & platforms, industries, collaborations and more, he very quickly adapts and is enthusiastically up for any challenge. Super grateful for his contributions, work and our time together, and would highly recommend him for any agency or company who desires a genuine, high-level creative with amazing energy!"

"Based on my experience, David would make a solid art/creative director. David does a phenomenal job at articulating design needs to stakeholders and non-designers. He is able to easily bridge the gap between the business world and art. David's personality is infectious and about all else his sincerity makes you a champion of his work."

“It’s rare that you come across standout talent like David. I had the pleasure of working with David at two separate agencies and alway's had a great time working with him. From unconventional brainstorms at local coffee shops to full blown productions, David always strived to go above and beyond. As a manager, he was very organized and thorough, managing all projects and jobs for the creative team. David's ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a big difference in the productivity level of our team and inspired myself to learn as much from him as possible. No matter how stressful a project got, David made sure everyone left with a smile or a laugh. As a co-worker and friend, David earns my highest recommendation!”

"During his time at Braintrust, David had a unique ability to bring people together with his witty comments, love of Journey and passion for his craft. He always came into work with an ambitious attitude and never hesitated to execute the tough requests bestowed upon him. We had a tough week where a handful of RFP's came our way and both the creative director and I felt he could handle leading a team. It was clear he was able to guide the group successfully as their presentation was great and everyone genuinely was excited with their collective work.

Advertising life can be tough but David helped make it a bit easier by being a dynamic member of the creative team. Plus, being a fellow foodie made us fast friends as we discussed new places to try. I can definitely say that his combination of talent and friendly charm makes him a winning candidate for any agency."

"David is truly a "Jack of all trades." He helped oversee design implementation and User X for the initial launches of UNLOKT. He discussed and thoroughly laid out major trends before they became "trends". His organization, leadership, willingness to learn and overall attitude puts him at the forefront in his field. He has a particular "no bullshit" mentality and will take your product, company &/or idea to the level it deserves. Highly recommend!"
