Prior to founding The Rockland Group, Dan joined Sonus Networks in 1999 as the first Sales Director covering the Eastern Region.  As the Regional Sales Director, MidAtlantic, Dan was tasked with selling next generation, central office switching equipment to Service Providers in an eight-state territory.  He helped fuel the company’s early success—finishing his first full-year at 310% of quota.  Sonus Networks went public in May of 2000.

Dan worked at Cisco Systems from 1996-1999.  As a Major Account Manager, he sold data networking equipment to Enterprise accounts in the MidAtlantic area.  In his second year, Dan was #1 in his Operation at 175% of quota.  He later advanced to the Service Provider organization and was a member of the AOL account team, a $40M account for Cisco.

Upon graduating from University of Maryland’s Business School, Dan was employed by Cable & Wireless from 1988-1995 and sold telecommunication services to Commercial accounts.  After two years as a sales representative, he was promoted to management, where he led a team of sales professionals in the D.C. sales district.  Dan’s final assignment was developing and launching a national affinity program for trade associations to market services to their membership.

Dan has also reached numerous personal milestones.  He completed the Marine Corps Marathon, the Xterra Off-Road Triathlon in Richmond, Virginia, and participated in Washington Golf Monthly's Golf Decathlon—where he helped break a record by personally completing ten rounds of golf in one day. Most recently, Dan completed the MOCO Epic, a 100K mountain bike ride that weaves through 9 major parks in Montgomery County. 

Today, Dan is married with three children. He enjoys golfing, mountain biking, riding motorcycles and spending quality time with his family and golden retriever, Cali.
