Born with a knack for numbers, Danny started his journey in finance during high school as a supermarket cashier. Eventually following the advice of his elders to become an accountant, he attended and graduated from William Paterson University’s Cotsakos College of Business with a bachelor's degree in Accounting. During college, he completed an internship and was eventually hired as a staff accountant with Avis Budget Group where he worked for 5 years. Feeling that something was missing, Danny began to search for a career where he could combine his love of finance with his passion for connecting with and helping people. In late 2012, that career found him, when his girlfriend (now wife) began working as the secretary for a small mortgage company. After hitting it off with the CEO Michael Sema at the company holiday party, Danny decided to try his hand at the mortgage industry. As fate would have it, in early 2013 Avis Budget Group was simultaneously going through consolidation and offered Danny two options. Either keep his staff accountant role and relocate from New Jersey to Virginia Beach, or part ways with the company and take a severance package. The news couldn't have come at a better time as Danny was already planning his exit and this just gave him the financial parachute and confidence to do so. Danny has been a licensed Mortgage Banker with Get A Rate since June 2013, licensed Life Insurance Agent since 2014 and licensed NJ Real Estate Agent since 2015. Branded by his peers as 'The Bearded Banker', he has been able to excel in the real estate industry by applying his knowledge in accounting, as well as his experience with owning, investing in, and flipping real estate, to help guide his clients not only through the delicate mortgage process but even beyond the initial transaction into the realms of personal finance, wealth creation, and wealth protection.
