Dan spent 20 years serving our country, as an officer recruiter for the Navy, recruiting some of the most challenging and niche roles the country had to offer.  He led a large team that made significant placements and was awarded top recruiter in the nation for three years in a row. While in the Navy, Dan earned his M.B.A., in Leadership.  

After retiring from the Navy, he found a true passion for hospitality recruitment as he spent time working with high-volume restaurant groups in Washington, DC. Dan’s immediate success in the private sector leveraged his extensive training and the high expectations of the US Military. Dan combines his expertise in recruiting with his personal network in the restaurant industry and passion, leading The Talent Shop as our Managing Partner.  

Dan is a Dad, Husband, avid tennis player, collector of bourbon, and is as comfortable in a fine restaurant as he is in a sports bar watching his favorite teams.
