Dan and Charlie have known each other since childhood. In fact, their mothers emigrated to the U.S. together from Le Marche, Italy, and lived in the same house for some time. Going their separate ways for their university years, Dan attended Trenton State College and started a career in special education after graduation. Several years later, he and Charlie reunited and decided to launch a wine import and distribution business. In the early years, they both performed all aspects of the business from wine selection and purchasing to sales and delivery. Today Dan serves as the company’s President and spends most of his time in a Sales capacity, while continuing to play a key role in shaping the company’s portfolio.

Dissatisfied with the work environment of his job after graduating from the University of Dayton, Charlie re-connected with his childhood friend, Dan, and together they decided to create a new company that would be a great place to work. From that beginning in 1980, Regal now counts over 80 employees, with three offices and a broad wholesale and distribution network. Charlie has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, focusing on the firm’s day-to-day operations and strategic planning to continue the company’s growth. Both Charlie and Dan strive to maintain mutually beneficial relationships with employees, customers, and suppliers alike. This aim and the desire to build a nourishing and rewarding work environment form the heart of Regal’s Core Values and culture.
