Recommendations

I recommended Dave to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation because I felt his skill sets, integrity and perspective on government would be an asset to our organization. While he was here he worked on numerous challenging audits and was a highly valued and sought after team member. It was the OIG's loss when he chose to move on.
