Our Board
Daniel Pinneaux
President
Founding Member
dpinneaux@deceptivelysocial.com
Daniel founded Deceptively Social Gaming in 2018 (along with Amber Wedig and Nick Keith) out of the ashes of a prior organization with one desire – create a group run by (and designed for) its players and moderators. Daniel began his love for social deception in 2013, moderating for two years at Gen Con before taking over event administration. His strengths lie in strategy and planning, and he uses a focused, tireless approach to solving problems and setting his Board up for success. The “big bald scary guy” of DSG is easy to spot and can always be found, with a big smile on his face, interacting with event attendees and his support teams. He never lies (this is a fact); thankfully, no one he plays Vanilla Werewolf with ever remembers this.
Daniel is a 30+ year restaurant industry veteran, working in project management and financial analysis. He resides in the Dallas/Ft Worth area with his incredible wife Polly, who can also be found working at our events. He is a foodie (and thankfully, Polly is an incredible culinary genius) and looks forward to delicious chef-crafted meals anywhere he goes. He loves to travel abroad and is a cat dad with two wonderful rescues.
