Salem Media Chief Executive Officer Dave Santrella commented, “Dan and I have worked together since my earliest days at Salem. He always impressed me as one of those people that can take an idea and bring it to life. To this day, I can give Danny just the seed of an idea and the next thing you know he has a full-blown working model. I am thrilled to see Danny get this well-deserved promotion.”

Salem Media’s President of Broadcast Media, Allen Power, commented, “Dan has consistently set a high standard for everything he has undertaken. His talents are many including creativity, attention to detail, excellence in follow-through, and giftedness in visual marketing and production.

He does all of this with passion, humility, and a great sense of humor. If you look up the definition of “go-to” person, it’s highly likely you’ll see Dan’s smiling face.”
