Daniel Beltzman co-founded Birch Run Capital, LLC (“Birch Run”) in May 2006, and has served as a Managing Member of the firm since that time. Today, under Mr. Beltzman’s direction, Birch Run manages significant assets for a number of high net worth investors. In his current role, Mr. Beltzman oversees the investment portfolio, including formulating investment strategy and generating new investment ideas.  Mr. Beltzman holds a B.B.A and M.Acc. from the University of Michigan.
