In his work with Stilwell, he has been responsible for approximately $1.2 billion in transactions ranging from public company mergers, subsidiary dispositions, corporate borrowing facilities to major asset sales. He has also been the lead business decision maker in over ten complex corporate litigation matters. In addition to his work with Stilwell, he oversees various personal and family investment vehicles that include public / private equity and debt securities, and private equity / venture capital partnerships.


Daniel currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Capital Foundry and Argent Liquidating Trust. In 2024, he was appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Pennsylvania State Senate to serve as the Senate Republican appointee to the Board of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA).
