Dan is an Interior Designer and recent transplant from Ohio. Dan and his husband David met in 1997 and were married on their 20th anniversary! After discovering Hull in 2019 they immediately fell in love with the location. Dan brings years of board and event planning experience for multiple non-profits in the Columbus area. He loves cooking for a crowd, gardening, spending time at the beach, and spoiling their two Shih Tzus Bruiser and Buster. He is looking forward to becoming more involved in the community and giving back to the people of Hull.

He and his husband, Tim Reynolds, have been together since 1994 and married in 2014. They found this little beach town, unaware of its large LBGTQ population, but fell in love with its beauty and beaches.
Suzy Cosgrove (she/her), Secretary
Suzy is a new member of Hull Pride. She (and her adorable ginger cat) moved to Hull in March 2022 after bouncing around the Boston area and abroad for years. Suzy moved to Hull to stay close to family and the surf, and found a wonderful community in addition to the waves. When she's not producing (her full time gig), you can find her painting at South Shore Arts Center, on stage in a local play, or somewhere in the surf at Nantasket.
