This passion led Dan to achieve his MBA and Graduate HR Certificate during his last tour, and is excited to be utilizing these skills and working for an organization that positively impacts the lives of Veterans every day.
Dan enjoys spending his free time with his family, running and/or training for marathons, watching his daughter perform musical theatre and jazz music, and his son on the baseball diamond and basketball court.
