In 2016, Danny retired from law enforcement and co-founded Triton Security & Investigations. Danny served as Triton’s CEO for approximately two years. Under his guidance and leadership, Triton successfully provided physical security for concerts, events, and large-scale construction projects ranging from $100 million to $1.3 billion.
In the summer of 2018, Danny relocated to North Carolina. Shortly thereafter, he decided to return to law enforcement and accepted a position with the Duke University Police Department.
