Working with JD from an organizational perspective is inviting. He has a unique way of bringing everyone to the table at the right time, valuing every opinion, and making everyone feel valued no matter their role. I think it's a gift to create a space for every employee to feel valued and heard while also challenging them to meet an unchanging standard.
From a personal perspective, working with JD is inspirational. He challenges the way you think and causes you to be uncomfortable with the status quo. Working with JD will cause a person to grow, which is great if you're open to it because you will be better for it in the long run.

JD is a man of thoughtful action. Every step relates to a core value or aspect of the mission. When it comes to creative solutions, he's got them in spades. From 1:1 interactions to corporate-level leadership, he helps bring clarity and direction where needed.
I've seen JD in multiple contexts over the years: coworker, then supervisor, then friend. He's helped me process important decisions both personal and professional. His ability to listen deeply, highlight important decisions, suggest solutions, and encourage along the way are invaluable in my life.
Driven is a word that describes JD, more accurately "driven to excellence." He tackles everything with lighthearted and encouraging intensity, inspiring others to greater heights. If you're looking for an engaging and inspiring outside perspective geared toward excellence, JD's your guy!

I am privileged to know JD both, personally and professionally. JD is a Christ-centered, family man and loves big.
On a a professional level, I can say JD intentionally balances his personal life with his professional aspirations. And when JD chases a goal/dream, he gives 100%, and then some. His entrepreneurial spirit and cutting edge ideas are contagious, and with his drive, discipline and strong work ethic he achieves what he sets out to do.

I’ve experienced being influenced by JDs leadership under extreme pressure. He demonstrated strength in decision making, caring for people, and mobilizing teams with vision to adapt to change.

JD is truly skilled at casting vision, cultivating unity among diverse teams, and communicating value to each and every person he works with, no matter their role.
JD recognized strengths in me that others had overlooked, called out my potential and gave me opportunities to use it, and made me feel more like a part of the team than I've ever experienced before.
His vision is spot-on, his passion for everything he does is contagious, and his integrity and genuine love for people are evident in every interaction. He's the kind of leader you actually want to follow.
