I met Dave in graduate school in 1983. I kind of stumbled into grad school by accident. By contrast, Dave was one of these whiz kids who was getting not only a Masters Degree, but also a JD at the same time. He went on to work at the US State Department, UN, and Department of Energy, where he was Assistant Secretary for International Affairs. Most recently he was the State Department's
Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs, before stepping down to run his own firm. Along the way, he spared the time to help Mari and me found
GlobalGiving as its first Board Chairman. His counsel, advice, and moral support during the first years of our existence were pivotal to our survival and eventual success. But most of all Dave has been a good friend, through thick and thin, over the years. And for that I am most grateful. Thank you, Dave.
