I will miss David immensely. He had this wonderful ability to simply throw out provocations and wait to see what came out of the subsequent discussions, which is just a great way to teach and to learn. 

David made me feel truly welcome when I first joined CODE and when I left my normal job to pursue a freelance career he offered the advice to say yes to every opportunity as you never know quite where it will lead or what it will let you learn! He was so very right! He also put me in touch with my first ‘client’, to provide technical support for SEDA’s online conferences. This helped me to gain confidence that I really could go independent at a time when I was very uncertain about what the future would bring. 

David was a true gentleman; kind, inquisitive, and always willing to experiment!
