Dan earned a Bachelor of Science from San Jose State University before co-founding Envision Real Estate Software. For over 10 years, Dan helped develop and grow the footprint of the innovative software company before successfully orchestrating its sale to a large lending organization. He has since served as a sales leader for a variety of mortgage and lending organizations, including CitiMortgage where he established a reputation as a national motivational speaker through the creation of Connect Events on behalf of CitiMortgage. Most recently, Dan served as Director of Franchise Sales for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, and continues to travel the country as a sales and business-oriented motivational speaker.
