I had the absolute honor of working with David at Meta and if I could, I would write a novel on all the reasons that he has been one of my favorite people to work with in my career. David comes to each workplace with unbounded energy and enthusiasm. His love for games is infectious and his ability to analyze games and create content that our players need is unparalleled. He gave me direct feedback, from the perspective of the seasoned games journalist, on how to improve things in games like Resident Evil 4 on Quest 2 and so many others and his feedback was integral to making some big calls in our games. In addition, he goes above and beyond in diving in to all of the games we had in development, going in depth into the mechanics and features, even putting hours into the game after work. All because he knows our audiences like no other and he has the ability to articulate their needs in ways that benefits publishers, developers, and marketing teams. We trusted him like no other comms partner, putting him in direct contact with some of our studios and having him come in early in development because his thoughts and feedback were so valuable. At Meta, David was kind of like the ace up our sleeve. Our top advisor who we could deploy to make our games better, no matter where they were in development, and no matter what types of games they were. My work, and the work of so many others, is better because we had the chance to work with him. I have no doubt in my mind that he would be the best addition to any future team he joins.
