Outside the Office

Outside the law firm, Dan enjoys contributing to the community through charitable service. Relishing his role as a father and a grandfather, he meshes all his activities with his family members’ interests and pursuits. Often with family beside him, Dan can be found under one of his classic car projects or on a backroad enjoying some “wind therapy.” But if he’s not in the garage, check the shooting range – he may be giving another firearms lesson.
