“We are excited about have an IT professional like Dave on the NPW team,” said Chris Pacey, NPW executive vice president. “In his brief tenure with us we have already benefited by many enhancements he has made. Dave is a great mentor to our IT staff as well as understands the needs of all channels of our business model. I am sure we have found the right person to keep us on the leading-edge of our IT needs for many years to come.”
