Testimonials 

"David is the most talented CFO I have had the good fortune to work with in my entire career. He immediately brought a tremendous depth and breadth of experience to his position which we sorely needed. His wealth of experience and knowledge in the areas of SEC reporting and regulation, capital raising, investor relations, corporate communications, financial modeling and corporate law was of tremendous benefit to us. David worked very well with our shareholders, lenders, bankers, attorneys, outside auditors, and the other members of our executive team. Much of our company's future success will no doubt be due to David's efforts."



Joe Durant, founder and Chairman, President, & CEO of Cirque Energy, Inc. (Alternative energy; startup; OTC-listed) 

"Dave is a very talented executive with a strong financial background and excellent presentation skills. He had the respect and confidence of the entire management team at TechTeam Global. Dave was also well liked by almost everyone in the Company and was highly respected for his leadership abilities. He was a terrific CFO and also headed up our investor relations program because of his strong communications skills. He was very loyal and admired for his ethical standards. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Dave in the future."




Dr. William F. Coyro, Jr., founder, former Chairman, President and CEO of TechTeam Global, Inc. (Global IT and call centers; $200 million in revenue; Nasdaq-listed). Now CEO at The Rationale Group LLC.

"Dave is a very talented executive with a strong financial background and excellent communications and presentation skills. He has a wide set of skills which made him invaluable to an early-stage company. He was adept at handling everything from financial oversight and investor relations to development of sales and marketing materials. He has a depth of knowledge of Sarbanes-Oxley and corporate governance and was invaluable to Ecology as a public company. He is dedicated, loyal and has high ethical standards. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Dave in the future."




Richard Stromback, founder, former Chairman and CEO of Ecology Coatings, Inc. (Nanotechnology; startup; PE-funded and OTC-listed). Now Managing Partner at Stromback Global Advisors

"During the years I worked with Dave at Ecology Coatings, he was responsible for leading our company's efforts to go public, raising interim working capital, and undertaking our secondary offering. Dave worked well with our investment banker and created the pitch book for our meetings with our potential investors. He has exceptionally strong written and oral communications skills and is able to make very effective presentations to sophisticated audiences, including Wall Street and company boards of directors. As our CFO, Dave ensured that all of our required SEC reports were submitted on time and we were never delinquent in any of our filings. Dave was a great contributor to our management team and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future."


Thomas Krotine, former President and COO of Ecology Coatings, Inc. Now Member at KRS Technologies LLC.

"Dave worked for me as the CFO of Entivity. During this time he was responsible for establishing a long-term cash flow forecast and budget for the company, recommending necessary expense reductions to the board of directors, getting the company to cashflow positive, and raising an "E" round of financing with our investors. Dave worked well with all of our employees, the senior management team, and our venture capital investors. He was also responsible for preparing and presenting our monthly financial results to our board of directors, which he did very thoroughly and effectively. Dave was able to instill the financial discipline of a large corporation into the smaller, entrepreneurial environment of Entivity. I found Dave to have a strong analytic and strategic mind which enabled him to be a highly effective CFO. I would recommend him to another startup company as their CFO without hesitation."

Leonard Kruszewski, former President and CEO of Clover Technologies (IT systems integration; $100 million in revenue; subsidiary of Ameritech (now AT&T)). Now President and CEO at RF Connect LLC.

"I worked with David as securities counsel for TechTeam Global and Ecology Coatings. In each case, David brought to his position discipline, order, and efficiency. He knows how to work effectively with outside advisers as well as with his work colleagues. He also has a great personality that makes working with him a pleasure even when he is rigorously task mastering key objectives. I would be very pleased to work with David again and commend him to others."





Robert Hudson, attorney and partner, Butzel Long

"I have known Dave both personally and professionally for over 15 years. I have found him to be an outstanding corporate finance and banking professional. Dave has impeccable integrity and ethics. He has an excellent grasp of the client-banking relationship and is fully versed in the realm of corporate lending, foreign currency hedging and financial derivatives. He is an excellent CFO and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him in the future.”





Greg Roberts, Senior Managing Director, Van Conway and Partners

"I had the pleasure of working with Dave during his career at Ameritech. During this time I was amazed to see Dave develop his finance and accounting expertise from relatively little to such a high level that he became an outstanding leader of the financial planning and reporting department of Ameritech. He was the controller of our $1.7 billion business unit but without a CPA. He had an amazing ability to grasp not only basic but advanced accounting concepts very quickly. Dave was well respected by his subordinates, peers, and the senior leadership team of our business unit. He was devoted to the professional development and continuing education of his employees as well as his own self-development as a future finance executive. I have not been surprised to follow Dave's success as a CFO across several companies and industries."

Joan Ryan, former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Ameritech (now AT&T) (Telecommunications; Fortune 50; NYSE-listed). Now Vice President - Corporate Finance at Hewlett-Packard.

"Dave is a highly motivated leader whose background enabled him to have a very unique perspective as a CFO. Dave's ability to understand operations and sales from his first hand experience coupled with his extensive financial knowledge makes him a rare talent in the industry. He not only knows what it takes to run a financially sound organization but also clearly understands the downstream effect of his decisions on the health and morale of the organization. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Dave again in the future!"
