My primary contact with him was during the Auto-Steel Partnership's Dent and Ding Project that he headed while working for LTV, and I represented Ford Motor Company on the team. Danny is a very knowledgeable, hard working and results oriented engineer. He thinks the problems through methodically and comes up with excellent resolutions. In addition to this, he is a great manager and as everyone that knows him would gladly testify, a pleasure to work with.” August 11, 2009

Danny is a very talented, conscientious and dedicated individual. He does not over promise but will usually over deliver.

Curt Horvath, Technical Fellow - Materials and Corrosion Engineering, General Motors
“Danny is a first class engineer that I worked with at LTV Steel for many years witnessing his growth from a new employee to a very valuable member of the management team. During his time at LTV he became very knowledgeable about steel production and applications. He led many investigations to resolve issues with the performance of the company’s products showing a systematic, thorough and objective approach. As a result, he solved many difficult problems, identifying the root causes in both steel production and the users’ operations. He also showed excellent leadership skills while running the company’s automotive development group. I take great pleasure therefore in recommending Danny.” August 16, 2009
John Hiam, Senior Director, LTV Steel
“I met Danny in 1998 through the North American Deep
Drawing Research Group (NADDRG) while he was with
LTV Steel. Currently, Danny is serving a two-year
term as president of the NADDRG. In September 2008,
Danny and I were asked to contribute to PMA's Tool &
Die Authority (TDA), which provides exclusive
technical information and timely news by industry
experts for tool and die professionals. Danny's
contribution to the newsletter pertains to sheet
metal properties and sheet metal formability.
Certainly, these can be very difficult concepts to
convey to those of us (myself included) lacking a
material science background. Fortunately, Danny has
the ability to combine real world experiences
(analogies), common sense and humor to address the
complexity associated with metalforming mechanics
and metallurgy. His efforts have, in my opinion,
resulted in an easy to understand series of articles
that convey difficult metal forming principles and
abstract concepts to an audience of tool and die
professionals. His research work in Advance
High-Strength Steels (AHHS) will surely prove to be
an asset to PMA, and the metalforming industry as a
whole, as these materials gain more acceptance in
the market place. On a personal note, if you ever
get a chance to meet or work with Danny, I hope you
enjoy his sense of humor as much as I do. He's a
real hoot!”
