Dan brings a deep commitment to clarity, process, and craft in every project he touches. As ESG’s Specialty Projects Manager, he sees himself as a translator—bridging disciplines, concepts, and collaborators to turn ambitious ideas into well-executed realities. Dan’s approach is rooted in listening first: understanding the core of a design challenge before exploring, testing, and refining thoughtful solutions. A mentor once told him that architects create representations of buildings, not buildings themselves—a lesson that continues to guide his focus on beautiful, precise documentation. Whether developing project standards, coordinating with unique vendors, or solving intricate design puzzles, Dan thrives on the complex and unconventional. With a passion for teaching, a love for spatial relationships, and a deep respect for both design intent and technical execution, Dan is a steady, curious, and creative force on ESG’s team.
