“Dave Raymond really brought out the ‘fun’ in our recent NASTO Conference. He was fun and he enlightened the crowd of 300 transportation officials (not known for their sense of fun) by focusing on injecting fun into everyday tasks. He was engaging and I’d recommend a dose of the ‘big, green fuzzy guy mentality’ to any organization.”

Secretary Jennifer Cohan - Delaware Department of Transportation
