President & Owner | Dominion Payroll
Dennis Gallagher is the President and Owner of Dominion Payroll, Florida, with over a decade of leadership experience in workforce management. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Dennis holds degrees from Radford University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and the University of Virginia.
Committed to philanthropy, Dennis is a key member of the Bay Area Advisors, notably contributing to Martinis for Moffitt, which has raised over $2.5 million for cancer research since 2005. For Dennis, the fight against cancer holds personal significance, as he recognizes, "cancer can be a literal life wrecker, and we've all been impacted by it, either personally or by family and close friends. Sadly, there is no cure. The Bay Area Advisors' efforts to raise funds for research and a cure is some of the most valuable use of my time."
Supporting where we work and live.
We are honored to host a Bay Area Advisor and Dominion Payroll's own, Dennis Gallagher, to discuss their upcoming event, Martinis for Moffitt, to benefit the Moffitt Cancer Center.
