He came to the states in the early 1970’s with his family and settled in Pasadena. He went to Marshall High School where he played numerous sports, including his favorite one, football. Dany also was involved in his community. He coached little league and helped many charitable organizations by giving both his time and his efforts. Dany soon got involved in the restaurant and catering business. He enjoys creating cuisines and great atmosphere at his restaurants for people to enjoy.

He discovered poker at a young age and fell in love with the game. He enjoys both tournaments and cash games. He got really into the poker scene when he came in 5th place at a local casino. Shortly after that in the same casino he placed 3rd in the same tournament. And then his poker career started the snowball effect. After winning multiple tournaments at his local casino he decided to challenge himself. He entered himself into the 2008 L.A. Poker Classic and finished in 13th place. Just two months following the 2008 L.A. poker classic he played in the 39th World Series of Poker Tournament and came out in 7th place.

He is current the Captain of Team Lebanon Poker in World Team Poker.
