Dano officially started working for us full-time in 2009; however, he grew up helping out on installs during the summer and on weekends while attending high school and college. When he came on-board, the plan was to have him work in each department, so as to learn the various facets of the business and ultimately grow into his current position as an Associate and General Manager. After one year of doing just that, Dano became involved with project management, assisting on several jobs which included Escada, Boston; Polo, Greenwich and Christian Dior, Beverly Hills. He also spent a period of time in Estimating. During the time he has been with us, Dano counts the Christian Dior, Beverly Hills project as one of his favorites. Its sheer size, the level of difficulty involved in fabricating and installing our work, as well as the amazing design of the store as a whole is indeed impressive. It is Dano’s goal to always be mindful of not only the immediate, but also the long-term future of DDMA. In an effort to ensure longevity, he works in conjunction with the Operations and Sales departments in order to achieve this end. And because a company cannot thrive without the right people in place, he works to ensure that we are staffed accordingly. When not in the office, Dano loves to travel, and counts South Africa as his favorite destination (he honeymooned there with his wife and would love to go back one day. In fact, his dream job would be to own a safari lodge in the African bush!). He loves to play golf, baseball (he played in college) and watch professional and college football (he is a season ticket holder at Clemson University…go Tigers!). Dano and his wife Kristen are also the proud parents to their daughter, Olive Grace, and dog, Tomlin (after the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers).
