Background

About David Wright

I live to be challenged, whether it involves finding a solution to a difficult problem, creating something new, or finding ways to improve an existing product or process. Challenges are occasions to learn and grow, to expand my horizons in new directions. Challenges also offer the opportunity to connect with new people, exchange ideas, and build new perspectives. In addition to my formal education, I bring a wealth of life experiences and abilities to my work. At the top of this list is my ability to look at things from different points of view and to integrate those perspectives into a comprehensive picture that includes the larger context where the situation exists. My aptitude for discerning and using different perspectives is vital to effectively communicating with different stakeholders. Understanding someone else's point of view allows me the opportunity to step into their shoes and communicate with them on their own terms. Communication skills are the keystone of teamwork, and I have the commitment to excel in any team role to help ensure the team's success. I possess the experience to lead, the interpersonal competence to build morale and collaboration, and the courage to make the tough decisions when necessary. At the heart of all my experiences is my love of learning and my desire to grow and expand the boundaries of my understanding. When I encounter a situation I do not understand, I am not afraid to say "I don't know."​ However, I will always follow that with "but I will find out." I see these situations as opportunities to learn from any and all resources available to me.
