"... probably the best manager of my career... the peacemaker, moderator, and glue that held teams together in our org...'sleeves up' sincerity!"
David had a way of being the peacemaker and moderator of our organization, while successfully acknowledging the skills of each team's members, helping us all to grow.
In addition to being the glue that held our specific team together in turbulent times, he was one of the few managers I've ever worked with who really sought to and understood the work of the people he supported (developers, testers, analysts, DBAs). During the time I worked for David, he implemented new source control technology and new roles successfully to help standardize best practices and tighten security to the appropriate levels.
David was probably the best manager I have ever had over the course of my entire career.
