Exploring Dan's History
Dan began studying engineering and design in high school. Realizing his passion early on, he pursued his Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Buffalo. After graduating from the University of Buffalo, Dan made the cross-country trek to California, completing his Master’s in Architecture at UC Berkeley. As a Berkeley graduate student, Dan started a cabinetry business and obtained his general contractor’s license. While in his twenties and early thirties, he had his own Design-Build commercial construction company in San Francisco and the Mid-Peninsula.
Dan grew up watching his family successfully own and operate small businesses. Risking his reputation and finances on every job has taught him that other people’s success and priorities are key to success.
His biggest career challenge was working as a draftsman to detail construction projects as a novice. Dan took that challenge headfirst, learning to create what he had previously instructed others to build. Dan’s drive and determination have taken him a long way in his career, and we are lucky to be a part of his journey. Dan has big plans for Dome San Jose, and we can’t wait to see them unfold.

Spending time with my kids. Now that they are older, I focus on my other passion, building and repairing projects at my house and properties. It is meditative to immerse yourself in a creative project and tune out all other thoughts.

If I were Batting at a Giants game, my walk-in music would be Earth Wind and Fire: “That’s the way of the world.”
Who was your cartoon character as a child?
Batman. I wore a towel as a cape when I was 1-3 years old. In the sixties, there were few options on TV, but I loved comic books.

If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?
