Daniel was born and raised in Rockland County, just a short drive from Manhattan, where he spent his youth taking in all the sights, sounds, and culture that New York City has to offer. From a young age, Daniel was infatuated with real estate: he loved taking drives with his family to look at the large Hudson Valley estates around his hometown, and never missed an opportunity to venture into Manhattan. 

Knowledgeable in all areas of Manhattan, you can often find him in Gramercy, Murray Hill, Midtown East, and the Upper East Side, where his friends and family call home. A diehard New York sports fan, he is also quite familiar with the area around 34th Street and Seventh Avenue and considers Madison Square Garden a second home.

As the former bar manager at the world-class restaurant Restaurant X, a Peter Kelly restaurant, Daniel developed his passion for fine dining and the culinary arts. Daniel has become a world traveler, visiting eight different countries and three continents in the last eight years. Daniel attended the Lubin School of Business at Pace University with a concentration in Business Administration and currently resides in Manhattan.
