Dan was recognized in the Architects – Individual category, which honors individuals whose impeccable performance goes above and beyond in the workplace. A talented, thoughtful, and energetic architect, he is an expert in the design of affordable, supportive, and multi-family housing communities. Dan is dedicated to creating dignified homes for people of all incomes and needs that are beautiful, functional, and uplifting. His impressive design portfolio includes several award-winning affordable and supportive housing communities in Rochester and across New York State for clients including DePaul and Rochester Management.
“Dan is genuinely interested in improving the lives of individuals who will ultimately live in the spaces he designs,” said Rochester Management President Peggy. “Whether it is intentionally designing units to easily adapt as seniors age, or incorporating elements which make daily life easier for special needs populations, Dan is thoughtful and intuitive.”
In addition to his design work, Dan volunteers with several organizations. He is a long-time volunteer with the Ugandan Water Project, helping raise funds to support their mission to bring safe drinking water to those without. He has also served as the event director for the organization’s annual 5k fundraiser.
