Owner/Founder

LaBelle Yacht Club, Rocket Cooling, First Plate

As the owner and founder of a restaurant group, a construction/air conditioning company and a hotel/yacht club, which employ almost 200 people combined, Daniel Peregrin obviously has a passion for business. He also has a passion for solving problems.

“There’s an opportunity in every problem. I look for problems that can be solved, and problems present themselves frequently. The ones I choose to work on are the ones I feel like I had some resources to help solve that problem by orchestrating positive change with a positive attitude,” Peregrin says. “I learned my passion for making people happy by solving their problems. There are few better examples in South Florida of making someone happy than walking into a hot house and making the air conditioner work again.”

On top of his varied business interests, Peregrin supports several organizations in the community. That includes serving on the Hendry County Tourism Development Council, the LaBelle Downtown Revitalization Board, PACE Center for Girls Collier at Immokalee and the Hendry County School Board Oversight Committee. Peregrin also is a corporate supporter of the LaBelle Little League.
