COO, AMYNA Systems Inc.
Dad. Husband. Eagle Scout. A computer-science kid who found the trading floor, then kept finding new rooms. Dan co-founded the program trading desk at Spear, Leeds & Kellogg, spent sixteen years at Goldman Sachs as vice president then managing director in equities algorithmic trading, and left the Street to make things you can taste and hold — Garden State Distillery, a pork-roll shop, then cybersecurity. He served as executive director at Project Veritas: the search for truth, on the record. He is COO of AMYNA Systems. On X he writes as @danielrstrack: tech geek, wine, No Agenda, Jets, Devils.
