Like the professionals he engages with, Daniel understands that strategic planning, coupled with the support of a strong team, can significantly enhance the value of potential outcomes.

Daniel and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Highland Park with their daughters, Charlotte and Madeline, and their son, Henry.
