In his Cabling Icon videos throughout the multiple rounds, Dan emphasized the importance of safety on the job as he demonstrated various techniques that can only be learned from years of experience in the low voltage cabling industry. Dan proved to the voters and audience of the 2012 Cabling Icon contest that he takes pride in his work, going above and beyond with his detail-oriented video editing-something Betsy Conroy, industry writer and Cabling Icon judge, pointed out in her comments from his Round 1 video.

"Dan has taken the initiative to earn professional accreditations and designations from recognized and respected organizations, indicating he has a long-term view of his future and has the knowledge necessary to make career out of cabling-infrastructure installation. His video portfolio showcases his hands-on ability," said Patrick McLaughlin, chief editor of Cabling Installation & Maintenance Magazine and judge of Cabling Icon.
