Daniel has been with Allied Exteriors since the very start of his career in roofing, and over the past two years, he’s become known for his pride in craftsmanship and genuine approach to customer care. What he enjoys most about his work? “The freedom and the camaraderie,” he says. “There’s something special about working with a team that feels more like a group of friends than coworkers.”
Born in Noble County and now living in DeKalb County, Daniel brings small-town roots, a strong work ethic, and a sense of humor to every job site. He defines quality workmanship as more than just doing things right—it’s about taking pride in the finished product. “You should be able to stamp your name on a job in bright neon lights and say, ‘I did this—and I know you’re going to love it.’”
Outside of work, Daniel enjoys relaxing at home, cooking from scratch with his 11-year-old daughter, and getting lost in a good computer game. His favorite moments, though, come from the simple things—like nighttime walks through the neighborhood with flashlights and his daughter’s imagination leading the way. “The world just feels different after dark. It’s like turning off the noise of the day and finally getting to listen to peace,” he says.
And for those wondering—yes, Daniel is a hot dog eating champion (kind of). He once placed 3rd in Fort Wayne’s centennial Coney Island celebration—a feat involving 10 hot dogs, 10 men per heat, and 10 minutes. He can’t quite remember his time… but he definitely remembers the aftermath.
Daniel doesn’t have a favorite restaurant, but he has a favorite way to spend his time: slowing down, staying present, and making memories with the people he loves.
At Allied Exteriors, Daniel’s personality, passion, and pride in his work are exactly what make him stand out. He’s not just estimating projects—he’s building trust, one project at a time.
