He has been on the leading edge of Ethernet transitions from 10 Mbit through 10 Gbit. He made key contributions to bringing Wake on LAN management functionality to 100Mbit Ethernet NICs, 1000BASE-T connectivity to the PC motherboard, and 10GbE to the server in both SFP+ and BASE-T forms. With Intel since 1988, Dave has held many hardware development and engineering management roles including board development, ASIC design, applications, and validation. An active contributor to Ethernet standards, Dave currently chairs two BASE-T-related development projects in IEEE 802.3 and the BASE-T subcommittee of the Ethernet Alliance.
