Let’s figure out how to put your puzzle together.
Dan serves as strategic partner to clients of all shapes and sizes, advising owners and executives on a range of issues from ordinary contract disputes to extraordinary, life-changing transactions. As a client-trained advisor who has the honor and privilege of working alongside successful entrepreneurs and executives in all kinds of complex and intense circumstances, Dan believes the trickiest puzzles are the most satisfying because they demand the kind of collaboration, creativity and determination that makes hard things possible.
In addition to professional puzzling, Dan serves on the boards of several local organizations, as an enthusiastic (if mediocre) batting practice pitcher and breakfast maker, and as the Chair of the Board of Best & Flanagan.
