Dan is part of the leadership team and a long time duplicate player. He plays regularly and understands the rhythm of the game from the inside.
"I learned how to play bridge as a kid. We didn’t have any bridge clubs near home, so my dad decided to teach all his sons, hopeful he could fill a table for a decent rubber game. Later, while attending college, it was my turn to teach the basics to some classmates. Who would imagine, back then, that one of those friends would end up being Brazilian champion in 2016? (Disclosure: I didn’t teach him to play that well!)”
His experience at the table shapes the way he thinks about decisions, improvements, and long term direction. He knows the game from the player’s side, and that shows in how he thinks about BBO. That perspective carries into everything he does.
Players may know him from events, discussions, or tournaments. What they might not always see is that he approaches the platform first as a fellow player.
