Meet the Team

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Daniel F. Menchini is a lifelong resident of the borough.
 
Dan was a student at Manhattan College where he majored in business. As President & CEO of U.Santini, Inc. Moving and Storage. Dan oversees all day-to-day, business, management and philanthropic aspects of the company that has been based in Brooklyn for more than 90 years.
 
The business has been a labor of love for Dan ever since his father, Gino, invited him to join the company. Working side by side with his father on a daily basis until his passing in 2014, Dan remains committed to carrying Gino Menchini’s values and traditions forward while continuing to build the company as an industry leader.
 
Charitable giving and volunteerism are important to Mr. Menchini. He serves on the Junior Committee of the Prospect Park Alliance and serves on the Board of the Prospect Park YMCA where he has been Chair of the ‘Strong Kids’ campaign for many years.
 
Community and family are the cornerstones of Daniel’s life which is why much of his time and efforts are focused on giving back to the Borough of Brooklyn and the Park Slope neighborhood.
 
Dan is the proud father of three children who adorn his office with their artwork and know how to answer the office phones.

Gino was the patriarch and soul of U.Santini. Although he passed away in December 2014, he remains the pillar of our company. Gino was the second generation owner/operator of U.Santini and he was proud to come to work daily and share his experience with his son and his beloved best friend, Lola (the company mascot). His antique typewriter used to bill customers still sits on his desk. Gino fostered a culture of old-fashioned service and values at U.Santini that in this digital era, we strive to maintain in his honor.
