About

Hi — I'm Dan. I'm a product builder based out of Brooklyn, NY. I believe the best companies never lose sight of the user, while making sure they build an enduring business so they never have to disappoint them.

I was recently the Head of Product at TravelJoy, where we built delightful, simple tools for travel entrepreneurs.

I also run pooltables.nyc, the most definitive up-to-date map of every pool table in NYC.

I'm currently on a career break.
