Reviews
"The incumbent has exceeded the requirements for reporting. Due to the unusual
number of problems encountered during the development and application of the pro
cessing package, the reporting of these problems became critical to the orderly
progression of the development and application. The incumbent went beyond norma
l responsibility to identify and report these problems and keep the project movi
ng forward." - Ken Campbell (USGS) - 02 May 1988.
"Not only did the incumbent provide weekly status reports, and report promptly
any problems or obstacles, he provided sufficient documentation at key stages of
his work that enabled me to, not only track his progress with great accuracy, b
ut to identify problems and suggest solutions to problems that would not have be
en identified under the routine reporting requirements. As a result, the work p
roceeded faster than would have otherwise been possible, and avoided having to
redo much of the analysis, which would have been the case if the problems had be
en discovered at a later stage." - Ken Campbell (USGS) - 17 April 1989.
"Dave has the tenacity and discipline necessary for software development but thi
s method has not hindered his imaginative and ingenious use of various computer
capabilities not used by others...Has a natural affinity for hardware in general
...I was impressed by how methodically and carefully he worked...This same consc
ientious approach to his field technique is also reflected in his notes and docu
mentation...I never have met anyone who kept as thorough and precise records of
his software development and his reading of scientific papers...I highly recomme
nd Dave for virtually any job in seismic waveform analysis: if he does not know
some particular technique, he is capable of learning it very rapidly...He is ve
ry interested in his work, and he manifests a strong personal commitment to prod
ucing highly professional results." - Ed Cranswick (USGS) - 09 October 1990.
"Dave is very straight forward and friendly. He follows instructions precisely.
He has worked well both independently and as a member of a team." - Ed Cranswi
ck (USGS) - 09 January 1992.
"Conscientious in performing work assignments...Excels at detailed work requirin
g considerable technical insight...Interacts professionally with office staff an
d clients...Excellent work-scope analysis, and time-management...Excellent plann
ing for accomplishing project work on time and on budget...Very good problem sol
ving skills...Excellent quantitative abilities...A skilled computer programmer a
nd analyst...Very conscientious in producing accurate quality project work...Wel
l respected for analytical capabilities and insights to technical problems...An
excellent team player and very cooperative in accomplishing project work as a te
am member...Dave's abilities and expertise in ground motion modeling is becoming
better known among our repeat clients." - Paul Thenhaus (ABS Consulting) - 28 J
anuary 2002.
"I could not run this office and offer the state-of-the-art PSHA products that w
e do without the background work and research Dave performs to keep us current.
Dave now performs analyses required of PSHA projects that were once performed b
etween him and two other analysts...The primary reason we can handle this heavy
workload rather comfortably is because of production efficiencies that Dave has
created over the last several years. Five years ago it was taking a technical s
taff of four to do the same work that Dave and I can now handle by ourselves." -
Paul Thenhaus (ABS Consulting) - 08 May 2009.
