Employee Spotlight with Dave Diffenderfer
What do you love about working at Cagwin & Dorward?
Cagwin has allowed me to grow and develop as a project manager. When I first started I did not have the skillset needed to be successful. Through making mistakes and learning I have been able to develop the necessary skills for success. These organizational skills have helped me professionally and have also helped me in my personal life.
