After graduation, he began his career in the energy business with Hess Corporation where he helped both large and mid-sized businesses with demand response, electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil procurement. In 2014, Dan moved over to the consulting side of the business and joined the team at 5 where he has continued to work with and support the energy-related needs of large commercial and industrial clients throughout the greater New York City area.
Dan and his wife Ashley live in Northern New Jersey with their four-year-old son, James. When Dan is not out riding on motocross trails, he is on his road bike. Recently, Dan completed a grueling 223-mile ride across the entire state of New Jersey known as The Longest Day Ride. He began the ride at 5 AM in High Point and finished at sunset in Cape May. Beyond his two-wheeled adventures, Dan's greatest joys are around the time he spends with his wife and son.
