I'm Dr Dave Blake, owner and founder of Building Forward Now, Inc. I started my company with the vision to inspire change and purpose in everyone so they can make a difference in the lives of others. With over 40 years of leadership experience, I’ve created a company dedicated to people and their individual growth and development.
