I consider myself fortunate to have a friend and mentor in David Alexander. Our relationship has spanned nearly 15 years, starting in Seattle, Washington and landed in the DFW area. I value his wisdom, his experience and his calming presence. David and I recently sat down (again) to talk about our connection, the value of networking, and the importance of putting others first when it comes to relationshiping.
