With 20 years of experience under his belt working as a researcher, engineering leader and designer, Dave has seen it all when it comes to team dynamics. Whether it’s the intense pressure of defense or law enforcement, the regulatory strain of pharmaceuticals, or the challenges of agricultural technology, good team dynamics have always been essential in keeping projects moving forwards.

His decision to found Tabletop Teams was born, as are many good ideas, over a cup of coffee. A good friend was waxing lyrical about the latest team building retreat that her team had been forced to endure. David was struck with the complete lack of engagement from precisely the person who should have been excited, and the fact that so little of the content seemed to have made a lasting impression.

Pulling on his personal leadership experience, his teaching from his PhD days, and his love of performance and roleplay, David has built the Tabletop Teams offering from the ground up. He brings an immense depth of experience to his work, in addition to a real passion for teaching and engagement, and is extremely proud of the improvements he has been able to deliver for his clients.
