My name is Dave Schaefgen. I am passionate about making and creating things, in particular software. Up to this point, I haven't really made an effort to marry my passion and my profession. This has taught me one thing: money cannot buy happiness.
I want to work with and learn from a team that works hard to deliver the best work possible. I had the benefit of working with some of the best people in my current profession when I started on that path; and, that allowed me to grow quickly and contribute much sooner. The opportunity to work with a group of passionate, talented people is the first priority for me at this stage of my career.
