These procedures deliver clients an excellent experience from the initial sales call to the final brush stroke.

Blackdog utilizes eight core values to keep its team members focused on high value activities and maintain a great culture. One of the core values that Dave is most passionate about is “Maintain a Healthy Work/Life Balance”. Dave feels that our businesses are tools to allow us to create the life of our dreams, not a means to define who we are.

Armed with this knowledge the challenge and fun then becomes crafting a business that delivers on those goals and dreams.

Dave lives in Andover, MA with his wife Brenda, four kids and a Black Lab named Marley. When not working he enjoys spending time exercising, hunting, fishing and playing with the kids.

Having participated with Remodelers Advantage since 1997 I have seen the incredible positive impact being an engaged member can have on owners business’s and lives.

I enjoy helping companies find their blind spots as well as their hidden opportunities. We can then craft strategies to move forward in a way that plays to the strengths of the organization while overcoming the challenges that every business face.

Lastly, I enjoy helping owners look beyond their business to realize there is more to life. When we build strong independent companies we can create endless opportunities to live a life that most people only dream of.
