I had the honor of serving two terms as North Carolina Lieutenant Governor and President of the North Carolina Senate. I have deep relationships with numerous elected officials both in North Carolina and Washington DC. I draw from this experience to work at the intersection of government and business bringing strategic insight to public policy and corporate growth. I help businesses and non-profits think bigger, move faster, and innovate smarter.

A long-time advocate for educational innovation and school choice, Dan led landmark initiatives including North Carolina's University Campus Free Speech Act - the first of its kind in the nation - along with legislation requiring financial literacy and economics courses for all high school graduates. Under his leadership, North Carolina became the first state to connect every classroom to high-speed internet. He also championed opportunity scholarships for disadvantaged students, anti-human trafficking laws, and forward-looking policy to support emerging technologies such as eVTOL aviation and cryptocurrency.
Before entering public service, Dan built a successful career in architecture, ultimately serving as a senior partner at one of the nation's largest firms. He led major design projects across corporate, educational, and civic sectors nationwide.
