Danny is the retired president of Airline Ground Schools, survivor of the PATCO strike of 1981, and former world speed record holder in the AMSOIL Rutan Racer.

Danny earned the moniker "Mr. Lucky" after walking away from a 200 mph crash at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada, in 1983. His miraculous survival is attributed to the structural integrity of his Burt Rutan-designed AMSOIL Racer and the stronger-than-steel composite materials used in its construction. In 1990, he won the Gold at Reno and retired from pylon air racing after fifteen years of competition. Two of his race planes now hang in museums.

Now retired, Danny reflects on his challenges, accomplishments, and some funny stories along the way.

Danny was an instructor for DHL Airways/ASTAR Air Cargo for 14 years until retiring in 2010. He was also a FAA Aircraft Dispatcher Examiner for 14 years and conducted over 1,000 checkrides. He retired in 2010.
