“I think very highly of the work David Kirk had done when we worked on Penn-America projects. He were easy to work with, responsive, insightful and, perhaps most important, cost-effective. He did not go down blind alleys and waste time. He focused on practical issues and practical answers so we could move on to the next thing and create action plans and results.”

"It was 1989, I was a senior journalism major at Temple University, and eager to break into the world of work. David was a principal at GK and believed in an eager kid enough to hire me as an intern. I learned more in those 3 months than from my previous 3 internships combined and was fortunate to earn the opportunity to get my first big break when David hired me upon graduation and then again upon GK's acquisition. In the 20+ years since, David remains among my most trusted and helpful mentors. He has never ceased to impress me with his love for and dedication to the profession as well as his adaptability to evolving technology and trends. His finger is always on the pulse. As both a maven and connector, David - at the very least - is a good PR Guy to "follow" on Twitter and all the more reliable and valuable to engage in service. Anyone fortunate enough to do so will experience their gratitude to David build as well."
