 I have known Dave McCreery for over ten years. He is the most creative, ethical, hard working individual I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His commitment to seeing a challenge all the way through goes hand in hand with his ability to make the final result better than expected. He is a tireless leader who always finds a way to make things happen where most others would fail. His enthusiasm is contagious and his approach always sincere. My appreciation of Dave’s many talents is matched only by the enormous respect I have for him. Dave is a true winner!
