A lifelong Madison resident, Dan has over 40 years in the kitchen and bath industry. He was instrumental in organizing, with others, the Madison Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), and Bella Domicile is one of the original members. Dan understands the emotional roller coaster ride involved with building or remodeling a home, having experienced both first hand. That knowledge, coupled with a desire for a strong marriage of form and function, nurtures a culture within the organization that creates lasting value and satisfaction.
