Introducing "Out of Their Shell: Dan’s Rising Stars" – A Spotlight on the Next Generation of Leaders

As someone known for my turtles and a lifetime of learning (and plenty of laughs), I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the brightest young professionals in our industry. I’ve watched them break out of their shells and transform into incredible leaders with a drive that inspires me every day.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce a new series I’m calling "Out of Their Shell: Dan’s Rising Stars" – a spotlight on emerging talent. These young professionals are paving the way for the future, showing innovation, perseverance, and the leadership qualities that will drive our industry forward. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be highlighting these individuals, their accomplishments, and the incredible potential they bring to the table.

The Heart of the Program

In each post, I’ll feature a rising star who has truly come out of their shell to make their mark in the industry. Whether it’s their commitment to quality, leadership in challenging projects, or a fresh perspective that changes the game, I’m proud to share their stories. These young professionals are the ones who not only get the job done but take it to the next level – and they deserve some recognition.

You’ll hear about where they started, where they’re headed, and why I’m confident they’re going to be future leaders. The traits they show now are the same ones I’ve seen in some of the industry’s most successful professionals throughout my career.
