Under Dan's leadership, Pride's sales force solidified the company's position as a continual market leader and has contributed greatly to the company's growth.
Dan has maintained a leadership role in industry and patient advocacy. Dan has worked with key government officials, such as U.S. Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael Leavitt.

Dan received HomeCare's "HomeCaring Award" in 2006 in recognition of his distinguished service to the home medical equipment industry and Americans with disabilities.
"During his 20 years with Pride Mobility Products Corp., Dan has seen first hand how the work of the mobility industry makes a difference in the lives of Americans with disabilities. His commitment to the industry and those it serves will only expand as he takes his extensive business experience to the political arena." said Scott Meuser, Chairman and CEO, Pride Mobility Products Corp. "Dan's election to Congress would provide the industry with a passionate subject matter expert in Washington and Pride Mobility Products Corp. fully supports his decision to run. We are excited for Dan and look forward to his continued success as he begins his campaign."
Dan commented on the support that he has received. "I'm very grateful to Pride's employees and customers for their support of my decision to run. I will remain very committed to my core business strategy of setting and accomplishing goals that has served me well throughout my career at Pride. "
Dan will soon announce his leave of absence from Pride Mobility Products Corp. and he will begin campaigning full-time.
