I worked with Dave in the early 80´s. He was my supervisor. Looking back I realize without his gracious kindness´s, my life´s trajectory would have been changed.

I worked with "Doctor" Dave at Mohawk. He was an awesome mentor, especially to this aspiring young paramedic student. Always taking things in stride, never alarmed. Taking the time to explain what he was doing to his patients, and to myself. It was an honor to work with him.
