He continues his not-for-profit work to this day. he sits on the board of Womankind, the organization helps to get women, children and some men out of domestic violence, sexual slavery and human trafficking conditions in NYC. He also works with two different animal rescue organizations. Jarret works to help some of the more vulnerable communities here in our city. Jarret also speaks fluent Japanese for our Japanese guests.

Dan, originally from Long Island, enlisted in the Marine Corps at 18 and spent four years as a combat engineer. He then entered the fire department, his dream as he is a 3rd firefighter. He spent 20 years as a firefighter, before being forced into medical retirement because of his 9/11 illnesses. He worked at the Trade Center as a firefighter on 9/11 and for a month afterward. He now belongs to two veterans service organizations (local and national) as well as a 9/11 advocacy organization. He does advocacy in NYC and DC with these organizations and has helped get national and local legislation passed.
