Bio

Dan grew up in Arlington, Massachusetts, and attended Belmont Hill School before earning his degree in economics from Tufts University. After spending a year playing professional hockey in France, he joined Leader Bank in 2019 and was part of one of the country's top-producing mortgage teams. 

Dan takes pride in making the mortgage process feel straightforward. He believes clients make the best decisions when they understand their options, so he takes the time to educate, answer questions, and make sure they know exactly what to expect from start to finish. He works with everyone from first-time homebuyers to seasoned real estate investors, taking the time to understand what matters most to each client and helping them find the right financing strategy for their situation.  

Whether you're looking for a pre-approval, a rate quote, or just have a few questions, he's always happy to connect and talk things through. 

Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, golfing, and staying active. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Dan Kelly Foundation, a nonprofit established in his father's honor that helps provide athletic opportunities for children of all ages and backgrounds.
