Aquarian performed exceptionally high quality work in our broadband assessment for Richland County.

I am writing to express my deep appreciation for the work that David Baldwin of Aquarian Technology Systems has provided to me and the members of the House Technology Research and development Committee in the passage of the State Technology and Retention (STAR) bill during the 2004 session of the Indiana General Assembly, and for his tireless efforts in the development of the SMART School Partnership.Dave Baldwin played a vital role in the passage of the STAR bill, a blue print for the expansion of technology in Indiana, for the retention and recapture of our State's best and brightest graduates, and for the matching of those graduates with high paying technology related enterprises that choose to locate or grow in Indiana.It is with great appreciation that I commend Mr. David Baldwin of Aquarian Technology Systems for his contributions to building a better future for Indiana's graduates and for future growth of technology within our State.

We hired Dave Baldwin to serve as a thought leader and provacateur during the Creative Ohio Conference in December 2016.

He was instrumental in helping us design a one-day event focused on future trends that will likely impact arts and culture in Ohio over the next few years.Dave has the ability to ask rich, meaningful questions that you likely don’t know you need to answer. He gently nudges you to go deeper and think bigger. His collaborative spirit is manifested through his willingness to bring a partner(s) to the table to make the conversation richer. As a synthesist, he pulls trends, ideas, and data from a variety of sources, then blends in his wisdom and expertise, leaving you with rich, ‘just in time’ input for your project, organization, or leadership. Dave Baldwin will deliver the data and information necessary to take your work to the next level. The question is, will you have the courage to hit it out of the park?
