Film production is a constant game of balancing turnaround time, budget, and quality, and Dave is one of the few time-tested professionals who delivers on all three. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

Finding someone with the talent, personality, and reliability that Dave brings to a session or show is a godsend. He not only has exceptional follow-through and communication, but also the musical knowledge and chops to play with the best of the best. As soon as we get a booking he's our first call!
