"The conversation with David was laid back yet professional, fun yet informative, at times in the weeds when that seemed helpful yet the hour flew by. The only criticism that I have is that he's clearly not nearly the fan of ice hockey as he -- and everyone else in the world -- should be."
Steven Rothberg - Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com
