Our Team
Dan Fabrizi, President & CEO
Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Dan moved to Tampa in October of 2013 with nothing more than a car full of whatever would fit and a plan to start a new life. Driven by the will to make it work no matter what, Dan began his professional career in Florida working for Bayada Home Health Care as a Client Service Manager. Within 12 months, Dan become the first Regional Manager of Referrals for the company, specifically tasked to facilitate all VA home health referrals for the entire company.
As Dan began to market himself and the company, he established contacts within the Senior Living industry and abroad which led him to advance to such positions as Marketing Director in an Assisted Living, to a Skilled Nursing Liaison for what was formally known as University Village. It was there when Dan met his business partner, Marc Flores, and they began the management company known as Southpointe, where Dan became the Regional Sales and Marketing Director for the company. During his time in that role, Dan and Marc got involved in a high-profile bankruptcy case which eventually saw them purchase the Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing out of bankruptcy.
Shortly after the acquisition of the community, Covid began. In a “right place at the right time” move, Marc and Dan discontinued the Skilled Nursing portion of the community, which left the entire 1st floor of the community vacant. This move allowed them to open the first “Senior Living Covid unit” in the state of Florida. Under the direction of Hillsborough County and the Governor’s office, Dan help guide the community and the unit in a direction that allowed for hundreds of asymptomatic patients to get the proper care they needed to return safely to their respective communities. Over a near year period, the revenue generated allowed for Dan and Marc to create SeaCoast Health Systems, where Dan became Senior Vice President. Over the following two years, SeaCoast grew into a company with assets totaling close to $80 million with locations in the state of Florida and Indiana.
In early 2023, Dan made the decision to leave his post at SeaCoast Health Systems to begin Burgh2Bay Partners with his business partner and friend, Mike Dovidio. Over the last 7 years in the Senior Living industry and abroad, Dan has made extremely influential contacts that he hopes will allow him and Burgh2Bay Partners to become a trusted group in the Tampa Bay region and beyond.
Prior to his move to Florida in 2013, Dan spent 4 years working for MedExpress Urgent Care as one of the youngest Center Managers in the company. Also, Dan worked for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2008, and did a radio stint with ESPN Radio in Pittsburgh in 2011. As a kid, Dan caddied at Oakmont Country Club from 1999-2013 and worked in the 2003 United States Amateur Championship.
In his free time, Dan is a sports enthusiast, especially hockey. A diehard Penguins fan since birth, Dan is also a season ticket holder with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He also enjoys cigars, bourbon, cooking, playing golf, traveling, and his love for dogs is unmatched.
Mike Dovidio, SVP
Mike grew up in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania where his family owned a restaurant his whole life. At a young age, Mike was exposed to the challenges and rewards of building and operating a business. Mike left home at the age of 18 to move to Pittsburgh where he attended college at Duquesne University. Mike graduated in 2016 with a Pharm D and a minor in entrepreneurial studies. The day after graduation, Mike packed everything into a Toyota Corolla and relocated to Tampa Bay, where he’s resided ever since.
Mike started out working as a retail pharmacist at a major chain, but that only lasted for a short while. Mike’s next step was as a pharmacist at a 503A compounding pharmacy. While at the compounding pharmacy, Mike stepped “off the bench” in his first non-verification role of compliance pharmacist. As compliance pharmacist, Mike handled the licensing and applications for the pharmacy’s 45 territories, plus his own 15 state licenses. But that position only lasted for six months as Mike once again was promoted to the pharmacist-in-charge, formally taking over all of the operations of the pharmacy. In a short 18 months to the most senior position of the company, Mike eventually took over as the general manager; adding sales, business development, and marketing to his portfolio of skills.
In 2020, Mike was approached by a tech-based ALF pharmacy who was looking for a manager of pharmacy operations. Shortly thereafter, Mike decided to make the jump to the ALF pharmacy where he managed a number of automated dispensing robots and a full team of pharmacists and technicians. But that wouldn’t last long as a general manager position once again came knocking.
In 2021, Mike took over and launched a national pharmacy chain in the Tampa Bay area as the general manager. Mike’s focus in this position was go-to market strategy and launch, business development, sales, marketing, and project management. Mike stayed in this role for almost two years, before he decided to make the move to launch Burgh2Bay Partners with Dan Fabrizi.
In his free time, you can usually find Mike working on a DIY project. He’s an avid builder of all sorts, a landscaper, a microbrewer, and generally a maker. He enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife, his crazy dog, or his lazy cat; cooking, exercising, and traveling.
