Grantham, N.H. —
After leaving Long Island in the early 1980s, he and his family relocated to Orange Park, Fla. where Daniel completed middle school and high school. He graduated in 1987 from St. Johns Country Day School and moved to Tampa, Fla. shortly after graduation. After a short stint in Plano, Texas, he moved back to Tampa to attend the University of South Florida. Eventually Dan settled in New Hampshire. There, Daniel met his love, Dannielle, and they married in Kennebunkport, Maine.
Daniel had great success in several jobs, and most notably loved his job as Global Director of Logistics with Hypertherm. Prior to that, he had experience as a restaurant General Manager at Hops, retail General Manager with The Home Depot, and the Director of Operations with Bob’s Barricades. He held a BS degree from Nova University and an MBA from UMass-Amherst. Daniel was known to be full of life, funny, welcoming, hardworking, intelligent and passionate about his many loves: family, friends, travel, wine, the Boston Red Sox, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is survived by his three children, Jennifer (22), Austin (19) and Matthew (12). His family is planning a celebration of life party this summer, as he did not want a funeral.
