Battle Tested Leadership
Serving Our Country
Danny joined the United States Army when he was 18 years old. After four years of training, he earned his commission as a Military Intelligence Officer.
In 2016, Danny was selected to serve in a Joint Special Operations Counter-Terrorism Task Force alongside our nation’s most elite military units and intelligence professionals in Afghanistan. Every day, Danny worked relentlessly to target and eliminate threats from foreign terrorists. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for “beyond exceptional” performance in support of over ninety special operations missions.
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Danny was called to serve on the COVID-19 Crisis Management Team at the Pentagon. While on the Crisis Management Team, Danny worked in the National Military Command Center, which functioned as the nerve center for the military’s efforts to support the civilian healthcare infrastructure to save lives across the country.
Between active duty deployments, Danny has spent the majority of his military career stationed with an Army Reserve unit in Bristol Township, just minutes from his home in Bristol Borough.
Fighting For Victims
As an attorney, Danny exclusively represented victims in their fight for justice. He knows what it is like to comfort a widow, parents who have lost children, and people who have suffered unimaginable personal tragedy. He frequently represented victims of sexual assault against institutions that turned a blind eye to sexual violence and foster toxic cultures. He proudly represented eighteen survivors of horrific sexual abuse in a lawsuit against a behavioral health facility that was supposed to care for them as children.
Danny was a leader in a national lawsuit on behalf of over 75 police officers, federal law enforcement agents, and combat veterans who were injured when their defective duty pistols discharged from within their holsters. This lawsuit was one of only a handful of successful product liability cases against a major firearms manufacturer in American history.
Danny represented over one hundred Army Veterans in their action against a massive corporation that made hearing protection for Soldiers that the corporation knew was defective. As a result of the corporation’s fraud, countless Soldiers developed hearing loss and tinnitus. Danny was personally issued this faulty hearing protection and suffers from tinnitus.
Danny also represented construction workers who were catastrophically injured when corporations put profits ahead of the safety of their own employees.
Public Safety Leadership
In 2023, Danny joined Governor Josh Shapiro’s Administration as a senior public safety official. In that position, Danny spearheaded Governor Shapiro’s strategic initiatives to improve emergency response in Pennsylvania. Danny worked inside the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, in partnership with the Pennsylvania State Police, Pennsylvania Fire Commissioner, and the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security to improve our ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies.
Some of the initiatives Danny led included building a mutual aid system for localities to assist each other during catastrophes, developing artificial intelligence programs for first responders, and administering a brand-new grant program to distribute millions of dollars per year to disaster survivors. Danny also proudly oversaw the creation of the Keystone First Responder Award, which recognizes the heroism and sacrifice of first responders who suffered career-ending injuries or were killed in the line of duty.
In The Community
An active member in the Bucks County community, Danny is a co-owner of a brewery and pub in Bristol Borough, a volunteer with Bristol’s Third District Volunteer Fire Company, a certified Emergency Medical Technician, and recently served on the Board of Directors of the Livengrin Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in Bensalem.
When he’s not working, Danny is a regular at CrossFit Raid in Bensalem, a catcher in the BuxMont Men’s Baseball League, and a certified barbeque competition judge.
Danny lives in Bristol Borough with his spectacularly wonderful wife, Helen.
