Our Team

After serving 20+ years in the US Navy and working in the defense contracting world, Dan pursued his passion for owning his own business and started Lightspeed Restoration of Lorton, Manassas & Fredericksburg. With his long term interest in home improvement, Dan wanted to help the Northern Virginia community by providing services to improve both the quality of life and the health & wellbeing of both commercial and residential properties. 

On his rare off time, Dan is a long term participant in the BSA, enjoys exercising in many forms, and visits his two children and two granddaughters as often as possible!

Dan is the owner of the company which involves going on estimates, maintaining business relationships, and holds the following certifications:

MICRO: Mold Testing/Inspection & Mold Remediation (CMI, CRMC)
IICRC: Water Damage Mitigation (WRT)
NADCA: Air Duct Cleaning (ASCS)
NRPP: Radon Testing & Mitigation (RMP, RMS)

As co-owners of the company, Anne and Dan make a great team both at home and in business. Together they provide quality service to the community as well as opportunities for employment. As warehouse manager, Anne manages the inventory levels and assists with additional tasks for customer projects. 

A family run company indeed, Anne especially enjoys work trips that Dan and daughter Samantha go on where she is needed to watch the granddaughters! Active as well in her local church where she sings in the choir, Anne's passion is her family, though her essence is made up of good tea and fine British humor. 

As this is a family run business, it was only natural for Dan's daughter Samantha to join the team shortly after the company was started. With a background in social media marketing, Samantha was happy to switch gears from the corporate world to support the growing small business. While office work and marketing are primarily her focus, she also enjoys occasionally getting into the field to support the production team. 

Holding the admittedly self-bestowed titles of Scheduling Wizard and Marketing Magician, the most coveted title of Mom takes up most of the rest of her time. Samantha also loves to ride horses, spend time with her family (in and outside of work), and travel.

With 20 years of accounting experience for various kinds of companies under her belt, Danielle has been a natural fit with Lightspeed Restoration and serves as the book keeper. Helping to keep the company on track and organized financially is an essential task and though Danielle only recently joined the team, she has already begun to improve and simplify processes.

Danielle finds true happiness at home where she raises chickens and ducks, tends to her garden, and shares the bounty of the earth with friends and family. Her children grown, she takes as many opportunities to spend time with them as she can.

Though it seems Chris has always been here as a pillar of the company, he joined Lightspeed Restoration a few years ago as one of our estimators. As a business owner himself, he knows how much work Dan puts into the company and has worked tirelessly to help Dan grow the business and bring a positive spirit to the company culture. 

When not with Lightspeed Restoration, Chris pursues his passion for massage therapy. He also enjoys rides on his Harley Davidson Sportster and lets loose as a drummer, playing in the band Dance for the Dying.

Chris holds the following certifications:

MICRO: Mold Testing/Inspection & Mold Remediation
NRPP: Radon Testing and Measurement

Walter holds the following certifications:

MICRO: Mold Remediation Technician (CMRC)
IICRC: Water Damage Mitigation (WRT) 
NADCA: Air Duct Cleaning (ASCS)
