“Don was one of the interviewers when I took up a job at Crain, and also one of the biggest reasons why I made that decision. Because, I've always loved the idea of working with such an experienced editor. He's the first one in office and one of the last ones to leave. For someone who's an industry veteran and so vastly experienced, I marvel at his generosity and work ethic. I aspire to have an attitude like him some day. His communication towards me has always been clear, kind and supportive. He's also by far the most open-minded person I have worked with. If you think only millennials or the younger kids should be on top of the new-media game, then you obviously haven't met Don. I value all the time I've spent collaborating with him and supporting him. It's been a pleasure.”
