"Dave spoke on Social Media for Churches to a group at my church — he is a great speaker, a thoughtful analyst, and expert on social media. He developed a thorough presentation, and he tailored it to fit the concerns that our church had. Dave's writing and his copious research would be great assets for any organization trying to develop or refine a social media strategy. He understands the technology/medium, and he is a good listener when people ask questions."
— Tom Doyle, Attorney
