In 2001, Daniel began his career in the insurance industry working for a privately held financial and estate planning firm in Dallas. It was through this experience that Daniel realized his true calling - to help people. It was then he decided to make a change.
In 2002, he began his new career selling Aflac insurance. Shortly thereafter, he created Ovation Health & Life Services, a full-service employee benefits and insurance firm. Since then, Daniel has advised hundreds of business owners and organizations, and thousands of employees, on all types of insurances and employee benefits. Daniel loves his work, and looks forward to every claim he turns in, every family he helps, and every new client he earns. The motivation has always been the same: help business owners protect their businesses, and help their employees protect their families and livelihoods.
Throughout the past six years, Daniel has won numerous Aflac state, regional and national awards. For the past three years, Daniel has qualified for the National Association of Health Underwriter's Leading Producer Golden Eagle Award, for excellence in the sale of health, life, and disability insurance. Daniel is currently pursuing many other national industry awards.
Also, due to Daniel's active involvement in the southwest Dallas communities, he was chosen to participate in the 2006-2007 Leadership Southwest Program with 40 other community leaders. Daniel currently serves on the boards of many organizations and associations, and is actively involved in numerous chambers of commerce. Daniel is currently serving on the Club 48 Board of Directors, Cedar Hill Chamber Board of Directors, and the Desoto Chamber Healthcare Committee. Daniel is also serving as the Federal Legislation Chair for Dallas Association of Health Underwriters (DAHU).
Currently, Ovation Health & Life Services has over 25 agents in Dallas - fort Worth, and over 60 nationwide. Ovation is licensed and conducting business in over twenty states. Ovation will celebrate its five-year anniversary in July, 2008. Ovation's current clients range from small mom-and-pop businesses, to large corporations boasting 5,000 employees, to the International Teamsters Local Unions, and several national associations - some boasting over 15,000 members. Ovation does not limit itself to a certain demographic or product line, but rather tries to find the best solutions for every type of entity.
