    I have used David for Web and IT technology services for my companies over the years. He was assisting me in early 90's to hand code html for websites - at a time companies were still trying to justify value for building a website. Today he provides advice and support for all IT related challenges my company faces. I admire his ability to keep up with technological change and see the relevance to my business.

    Dr. England is a part-time instructor of mathematics at our Clifton campus. He is good with the students, and willing to be flexible with scheduling. If he says he will teach a class, then I don't have any worries about that class for the semester.

    Dave is hands down brilliant. His perspective and point of view along with his dedication to problem solving were vital to the completion of our advanced research project. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again.

    I have known David England for 20 years and know him to be an exceptional scientist. His adherence to detail and want to dive into deep problems and work out a solution is something one rarely comes across in the applied sciences. His comprehensive knowledge covers a broad area that of, applied mathematics, physics and mathematical modeling. Though not only a brilliant scientist, one who is always willing to lend a helping hand. I would like to give my strongest recommendation to David England.
