Testimonial:

“Dan is unquestionably one of the best leaders and visionaries I have worked with...He not only recruited me into the network in 2001 himself, but he has guided and directed my company’s growth to $15 million in sales in 2013. Just as we think we have reached a plateau, Dan introduces another level of strategy and trains my team to implement it, which rockets us up once again.”
