More About Dan

Dan is committed to BHHS Georgia’s core values: to deliver service that exceeds expectations, between each other and our customers, with an exemplary "We Care" spirit. One way that Dan and Berkshire Hathaway have chosen to put those values to work is through continued support of The Sunshine Kids Foundation, a nonprofit that provides emotional support and positive experiences to kids with cancer.

Dan resides with his wife Rhonda in Atlanta where they enjoy their four children, two grandchildren and an active home life.
