Dan’s earliest real estate memories began with him visiting his grandparents in the Hamptons, New York, a prestigious summer destination located on eastern Long Island’s South Fork. Dan’s grandfather was an architect and the time spent at his office piqued Dan’s interest in design and housing. Dan's favorite part of his visits, besides taking a swim in the pool behind his grandfather's office, was going out into the field with his grandfather to check on the status of the different projects.
