Dave is still an advisor for many non-profit organizations around the country and internationally. Dave and his wife Kimberly live in Pleasanton, CA with their two sons. Besides watching his sons compete in soccer and basketball, Dave spends time outside of the office coaching football. ❝One of the things I love the most is when a leader realizes that they aren’t alone in this journey. For us to be able to come alongside leaders and teams facing unique challenges and offer practical hope, sound guidance, and above all else an ongoing friendship is truly a blessing. I am very proud to be a part of this team.❞

ClearPath has helped us hire several key people and I appreciate that they take a very different approach from recruiting agencies or headhunters. The ClearPath team sat down with us and asked us insightful questions about what the right person would look like. They went way beyond the job description to get us candidates that fit our core values and not just the job description. I would recommend ClearPath if you’re looking to get the best person for your next position.
