Kansas City Team

Dave Grace joined Adaptive Solutions Group in 2012 as an Account Manager. He has been in the staffing and technology space in the Kansas City market since 1995. Dave's experience dates back to the days of recruiting from a handful of resumes and tracking information in a three ring binder. 'This industry has seen countless number of changes throughout the years. The one constant has been the people. Whether it is candidates or clients, people have to know you hear them, that you are working to support them and that you will provide direct and honest information.'

A graduate from Kansas State University with a B.S. in Business Administration, Dave returns to Manhattan as much as possible to support the Wildcats. Other interests outside of the office include, working on home improvement projects with his wife, and spending time with family and friends usually watching some type of sporting event.

While growing up, Mallory and her family moved around the U.S. a lot, finally settling down in Kansas City in 1999. As a child moving so often, she became very comfortable talking to perfect strangers and developing friendships from the start; in turn, this developed the perfect personality for the recruiting & staffing industry. She went to college at the University of Missouri (M-I-Z!), graduating with a degree in Communications & Business, and the main goal of finding a job where she could always work with people and help them achieve their goals.

Professionally, her top 3 priorities are customer service, being the best, and having fun with whatever she does. Personally, she is obsessed with the Chiefs, Mizzou, the Royals, Sporting KC, her family and two cats - Crash & Ozzie (affectionately referred to as 'the Boys'). In her spare time, she enjoys to work on projects around her house and cooking new recipes.

As a coach, Joe enjoyed the process of recruiting talented men and woman to attend a university where he felt they would be happy and successful. He genuinely finds great joy in getting to know people and helping them. Joe came to ASG to continue this passion by helping talented people find opportunities that align with their career goals and aspirations.
