"Dan was an excellent "Manager". I put manager in quotes because I did so much more than manage while I was under him. Dan understood the philosophy of letting the workers work and that I was hired because I knew my job. When I weighed in with my suggestions or recommendation they carried weight with Dan and I really appreciated it which made me in return work harder for him. Definitely a great manager and would make an AMAZING boss because he honestly cares about his employees!"
Henri Coeme, Independent Manufacturers Sales Representative
"Dan was the ideal person to work with and report to. Dan created an environment in which it was easier for me to thrive, expand the company client base and solidify relationships with existing accounts. Dan knows how to provide direction and encourage team work. I would work with Dan again anytime anywhere and wish him success and Godspeed in his future career."
