"Daniel and I worked together to brief the highest ranks. We delivered data-driven recommendations on projects ranging from risk forecasting and strategic resource alignment to the consolidation of facilities to process improvements for undercover operations.

The trust Daniel garnered from those in leadership was instrumental in enacting data-driven improvements to support our unique mission. Executives still prefer to stick to the presentation style Daniel brought to the organization."

-Jonathan Hall, Fellow-Entrepreneur and Managing Principal at Clear Vista Capital

"Daniel was the most organized and responsible of all of my communications coaches. He assumed a leadership role in selecting and training other coaches.

"Daniel's creative energy amplified our efforts to unify diverse communities across Philadelphia through art. He helped integrate human history into a beautiful West Philadelphia mural. Daniel met with neighborhood natives to capture their stories, and collaborated with the artistic team to bring those stories to life across a 1,000 sq. ft. canvas.

I have no qualms in recommending Daniel as a passionate and socially-conscious leader.”

-Jane Golden, Founder & Director of the nation's largest public art program, dedicated to the belief that art ignites change.

Clown for a birthday party at an orphanage one day, discussing health policy with the Brazilian Secretary of Health the next. Daniel was eminently adaptable to his circumstance, and became the leader of 170 missionaries, giving training on a variety of topics to mixed Brazilian/American audiences across four states and the Federal District.

Daniel's tenacity shone through: even after being twice infected with dengue fever, he continued to give rides to a blind man - on his bicycle! He connected with the local radio station so thoroughly that they gave him a weekly one-hour talk show."
