Dave Caccamo, MA has three decades of experience in the engineering, economics, and project management fields. With an undergraduate degree from the United States Naval Academy and a Masters of Economics (Engineering Minor) from North Carolina State University, Dave has developed an impressive set of skills in the areas of business management, information technology, and strategic planning and implementation. Dave has substantial industry and academic experience. He started his career as a nuclear-trained submarine officer, and then, after the Navy, worked as an acquisition project manager with a Washington, DC-based consulting firm. He and his family moved to North Caroline in order for Dave to complete his post-graduate work, and while a graduate student, he served as the Reactor Engineer for the NC State research reactor. After graduation, he put all of these skills to good use as he served as the Vice President of Finance for a startup technical consulting firm. After the sale of that company, Dave returned to academia as an Assistant Professor of Business and Economics at a small private college in the Raleigh area. Dave taught introductory economics and accounting courses to undergraduates. As part of the college's transition to baccalaureate status, he developed the school's Business Administration major and served as a committee chair for the college's accreditation self-study. He also served in the collateral roles of Director of Academic Computing and subsequently, Director of Information Technology. During the same period, Dave was also an adjunct professor of business for a local University, where he taught advanced economics, finance, and quantitative methods courses. Dave has demonstrated time and again his ability to make complex business and engineering concepts understandable to executives, managers, and technicians through his fundamental modeling of subject matter. Most recently, Dave has served as a business and training consultant in the areas of IT, Project Management, Management and Leadership, and Business Communications. He was a Course Director and Instructor for a major training firm, in which capacities he developed business and IT training courses, serving as author and/or editor for a number of textbooks. Dave has also led the management team for the startup of two private schools.
