About Dan
Dan’s career began in corporate cardiovascular fitness, directing an in-house program for Chase in the 1970s. He went on to co-found The Fitness Company and later oversee health and fitness operations encompassing more than 450 employees, $40 million in revenue, and over 400,000 square feet of facilities.
At Stamford Hospital, Dan planned outpatient operations for a new 225,000-square-foot facility and helped develop its Health & Fitness Institute. Through VisionBridge, he spent more than two decades advancing physician-connected approaches to chronic-disease management grounded in exercise, lifestyle change, technology, and measurable biometric outcomes. He later founded SOZO Clubs to continue that work in medically integrated health and fitness.
Dan has served Food for Health® since 2011. His unusually long view of prevention—from the cardiovascular fitness laboratory to digital health—helps the company connect scientific insight with programs, partnerships, and behaviors that people can sustain.
