Please join me in welcoming Dave Balkin as our newest fundraiser in the West Region.  He will be serving benefactors in Northern California and his first day with our Development family will be on August 28.

Dave is a triple Domer (’82, ’85, ’93) who majored in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science.  He has extensive sales and executive management experience having worked for nearly 30 years for the IBM Microelectronics Division and several start-ups in California and Vermont.  Since returning to Notre Dame in March 2014, Dave has been supporting ND Research as the Managing Director of our Center for Nano Science and Technology (NDnano).

Dave and his wife, Martha (Munsell) Balkin (’82, ‘88), have four adult children who reside in L.A. (Tavis and Lee), Dublin, Ireland (Phoebe) and the Chicago area (Dana).

We are excited to have Dave join the University Relations team.
