By developing new technology, focusing on customer support and training and putting key employees in positions to do extraordinary things, Dave has guided Supportworks to exceptional growth, leading Inc. Magazine to recognize it as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies.

This concept of purpose and its role in creating a positive company culture has been recognized nationally. In addition to speaking about the concept with national publications such as Forbes Magazine and The Huffington Post, Dave’s story was told in the best-selling book “Leading with Noble Purpose” by Lisa Earle McLeod.
