Testimonials

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with David for many years through my company’s membership in the ACMI Association. During my tenure on the ACMI Executive Committee, and as ACMI President, his guidance was invaluable (as was his sense of humor!). His organization and communication skills are exceptional, and his ability to align a large group on shared goals and steer projects to successful outcomes is unique and appreciated. He always makes time for individual members who need a helping hand or just want to chat about industry news. If you have an opportunity to work with David, I highly recommend that you take it.I’ve had the pleasure of working with David for many years through my company’s membership in the ACMI Association.

“It has been my pleasure and privilege to have know David both personally and professionally for more than 35 years. I have worked with David on a variety of legal and organizational matters over the years in my capacity as General Counsel of BIC Corporation and as president of two trade associations, the Lighter Association and the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association. David has always been professional, responsive, well-versed in the law, and well-known and highly regarded by both Commissioners and staff at the Consumer Product Safety Commission. As counsel to the trade associations he always advocated for and advanced the interests of the industry he represented while at the same time keeping in mind the sometimes competing interests of the individual members, no easy task. I highly recommend David to any client or organization, without hesitation.Sr. Vice President - Administration & General Counsel at BIC Corporation - Retired It has been my pleasure and privilege to have know David both personally and professionally for more than 35 years.

“I have been associated with David for 10 years through my company's membership in the ACMI organization where he served as Executive Director and is now in a legal/finance consultant role. The last 6 years I have worked closely with him through my role as Treasurer. David has a very sharp legal mind and has a way of getting to the crux of the matter, navigating the variety of members and their interests somehow creating consensus. In his role as finance director, he is very savvy with our funds and has developed an investment policy that has created significant income to our bank account. David and I both arrived at ACMi around the same time. the organization was in very challenging financial position. Through David's leadership and guidance, we have managed to restore and grow the cash position which has allowed us to pursue some very important initiatives. I would highly recommend any organization to work with David- he is a treasure.I have been associated with David for 10 years through my company's membership in the ACMI organization where he served as Executive Director and is now in a legal/finance consultant role.
