I was a grad student in Communication Arts in the late 2000s and 20210s. Dave was so generous and warm towards me during the 5 years that I DJ'ed at WSUM. The WSUM that he guided is such an amazing facility and, more importantly, a vibrant and welcoming community for UW-Madison students. I learned volumes about college radio from Dave, knowledge that I still draw on today. Now as an assistant professor myself, I've had the pleasure of advising my college's student-run radio station for the past 6 years (WONY, at the public liberal arts college SUNY Oneonta). That experience has included shepherding the building of a new studio, effectively rebuilding the campus's radio station from the ground-up. In working with the station and its students, Dave himself (as a general manager and all-around human begin) and what he created at WSUM have always been the models that I've tried to follow. My deepest condolences to Dave's family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.
