“I don't think these words will do the justice that Dan's excellence deserves, but I'll give it a shot. Dan and I first started working together in 2016 when he brought me aboard to manage the GloFX production team straight out of my undergraduate program at Florida State. GloFX was just starting to catch some real traction and Dan was in need of more leaders to continue fueling the strong growth trajectory that GloFX was on. From that point on, the rest became history. For what amounted to be an amazing 5 years, I got to work alongside Dan and be a firsthand witness to his leadership prowess as he fought to bring all of his visions for the company to life. Recognizing my potential early on, Dan invited me to participate at the highest levels of the company and aid him in building an unparalleled company and culture that one only reads about in news articles. Thanks to Dan's unwavering trust, support, and guidance, I was given the complete freedom necessary to maximize my untapped leadership potential and become the best version of myself. Leadership, vision, integrity, grit, intelligence, foresight, humor etc. Dan was the complete CEO package. He never ceased in pushing all of his constituents to test their boundaries and he set the bar for what it meant to possess a true entrepreneurial spirit. I'll forever be indebted to Dan for the opportunities he set forth. To this day, Dan's teachings and guidance still carry on with me as I tackle my life's next adventures. Dan is a truly a rare breed and I can't recommend him enough to anyone blessed with the good fortune of working alongside him.”
