1. I have enjoyed a real estate development career for 35 years in Washington, D.C. area and have chaired the Economic Development Committee in Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce at Lanham, Maryland. In my recent position with Corner Media as its chief operating officer, I met Daniel and have enjoyed working with this bright and diligent professional since 2014.

Daniel has been under my direct supervision since then, and working with me on investor relations, revenue strategies and general operations.
Daniel possesses top analytical skills, tenacity and a sense of purpose. He joined the management team when the firm was rapidly growing and his comprehensive contributions have been extremely valuable.

I couldn’t imagine what would happen to our business without his key contributions in securing financing, cutting cost, and most importantly, developing a new product
