Dan Sidders

Dan Sidders began his CSC career in 1988 while he was still a member of the US Marine Corps. As a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer, he recruited other Marines for crowd management services at Super Bowls across the country. Dan retired from the Marine Corps after more than 22 years of honorable active duty and accepted the position of CSC Orlando Branch Manager.

It wasn’t until 1994 that Dan’s visionary idea of a CSC Special Events division materialized. Now over 20 years later, Special Events continues to thrive with Dan’s initial concept of providing clients the unique benefits of CSC’s event services, customer care, turnkey event planning, and event leadership. Dan has maintained long-lasting relationships with clients such as PGA, PGA TOUR, MLB, NBA, NFL, and Octagon Sports Marketing.

He has managed security operations at over 300 sporting events and is recognized both nationally and internationally as a security expert for high-profile sports and entertainment events. Dan joined the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17 and served with honor and distinction for 22 years. His career as a Marine included multiple tours on ships for Special Security and travels to foreign soils including Japan and Spain.

Dan continues to combine his military training and unequaled event knowledge with his national and international security licensing, training, and no non-sense approach. Although based in Orlando, Dan spends over 200 days each year traveling for special events throughout the country. Dan received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Maryland and has also received countless industry accreditations.
