Skills: Personality

One of the hardest things for me to do is a self analysis on personality traits. I have found it difficult to figure out where I may be lacking or where I stand out. For this reason I have decided to treat it as a study where I will find the people who would have the best knowledge of my personality traits. I have been a long time member of the networking site LinkedIn and have had many colleagues, friends and employers recommend me for various reasons. For convience I have included some of the quotes that they have written below. In parenthesis beside the names of the individuals, I have also put their relationship to me.

"David is an energetic individual who is full of ideas. I've been most impressed with david's ability to think quickly and come up with solutions almost immediately to any lab/experiment problems. His desire to turn his physical science knowledge into a business will eventually pay off big for him.” May 9, 2008 Jason Fackler, "Member, Analytical Spectroscopy Research Group worked directly with David at University of Kentucky

"David is an intelligent and humorous person who worked as a teaching assistant for me in the Berea College Department of Chemistry. He was a teaching assistant for CHM 113, Fundamentals of General and Biochemistry and was effective at prepping for the labs and working with students during lab.” August 13, 2008 Dr. Matthew Saderholm, Associate Professor, Berea College managed David at Berea College

"David goes the extra mile to keep the lab running. For example, even though he is a graduate student in chemistry, and we have engineering students, it was David who took the lead in ordering and installing a new server for the lab. He has a wide range of talents that will prove useful in science."July 6, 2007 Dr. Robert Lodder, Professor, University of Kentucky managed David at University of Kentucky
