Dan Berry, Holly Springs Councilman

Dan grew up in Chalfont, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, and a part of Bucks County that was no stranger to rapid growth in the early 2000's.

Dan and his wife Diandra have been residents of Holly Springs since 2012. It's remarkable how different the town looks now from when they moved here.

Prior to moving to North Carolina, Dan was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years. He served on the executive board of the fire company and was also an apparatus Engineer. Most recently Dan worked for several race tracks on the NASCAR circuit as a track firefighter and incident responder.

After moving to Holly Springs, Dan used his past leadership experience to start his neighborhood's HOA after the developer turned it over to the homeowners. He has been the President of the HOA from it's inception to present.

In December 2016, Dan was appointed by the Town Council to the Holly Springs Planning Board which is tasked with reviewing development plans, proposals, and re-zonings to provide a recommendation to the Council on how they should act.

Professionally, Dan is a Finance Manager at Cisco Systems where he leads a global team of sales finance professionals who manage financial compliance matters.

Dan holds a BS in Business Finance from Penn State University and an MBA from Saint Joseph's University.

He was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout in 2003 and holds all 3 palms for extra achievement above the Eagle rank.

In his free time Dan is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys boating, hunting, fishing, and playing golf. He is a loyal Philadelphia sports fan, where there is always next year.

Except for this year, which is the year for Dan to make a difference for Holly Springs!
