Dave has been actively involved in all aspects of the processes for many of his projects from the creative and financial inception, land and permit acquisition, to development completion. His company handles entitlements, due diligence, project management and consultation for the development sector; feasibility assessments for the commercial banking sector; pro-forma and investment potential analysis for the investment sector.
