“I have worked with Dan on two different occasions to find a job, once when first out of school and again when the first company closed down 3 years later. I cannot stress enough the value that Dan brought to me as a job seeker. He took the time to get to know me well enough to make recommendations about companies that would be a good fit for me and he was right both times. He is a man of integrity and extremely dependable. When Dan says he is going to do something it is done when and how he says it will be done. His level of professionalism is unparalleled.
