Danny was a traveling salesman for Osprey Paper, and moved to Dunder Mifflin Scranton after being confronted by Michael in "The Sting". He is the best salesman in the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area. Little is known about Danny's past, other than he dated Pam when Jim was transferred to the Stamford branch and was dating Karen Filippelli. However, after two dates, Danny never called Pam back and tries to make excuses as to why he never called back when Jim keeps asking him. He then reluctantly tells Jim and Pam that he never called Pam back because he thought Pam was a dork. (Costume Contest).
