Dan's Story
Life
It's been an interesting and exciting ride. After college (BU) I had a short training stint in the Army and returned to Methuen, working as Coordinator of Federal Programs for the Town. In April of 72 I married Kathy Savastano of Lawrence and celebrated 42 years this year (2014). In the seventies, we had two children--Tara, now married and a mom, and Christopher, who's a registered nurse. After the town, I worked for the local Chamber of Commerce and then spent two years on the staff of then Congressman Paul Tsongas. From 71-80, I also served as Drill Instructor of the Cadet Corps. In 77, I became a lobbyist for a trade association and in 81, joined Miller Brewing as a Government Affairs Manager, moving to Albany, NY. In 88, we moved to Washington as I became Director, Federal Affairs for Miller. In 93, I transferred to Molson USA (then part of Miller) as VP Corporate Affairs. In 95, I left Molson for White Plains, NY and Heineken USA, as Senior Vice President Chief Corporate Relations Officer. The family moved to Westchester County, NY (Harrison) in the summer of 96.

rt 25 miles from Tara and her family. In 2009 we built and moved into our retirement home in Haymarket,VA, the next town from my daughter and her family. (very convenient for grand-parenting!)
Chris got married and moved to The Netherlands in 2012.
In December 2007, I obtained a Master of Science degree in Leadership and Business Ethics from Duquesne University.
I've been very fortunate in my career (especially the beer part) to be able to travel to a lot of places, including 27 foreign countries on five continents, go to great events and meet lots of interesting people. And drink a lot of great beer, of course! We've continued to travel in our retired years and our country total is now up to 34.
I retired from Heineken USA at the end of 2011 consulted for them for two years. It has been a very good transition so far. I play more golf than in the past but have only improved a little so far. Still following the Boston sports teams and, like most Boston fans, expect them all to win every year.
Kathy and I have been incredibly blessed during this life and I hope to enjoy many more years of watching the grandkids grow and prosper. (Updated 4/26/14)
