Daniel GoslinDirector of operations
- As printed A native of Alexander City, AL, Daniel Goslin began his journey in hospitality while working in restaurants during college at Huntingdon. Though he initially pursued other career paths, an unfulfilling desk job reaffirmed where he felt most at home — in the rhythm and connection of restaurant life. In 2012, Daniel joined the team at SpringHouse, working alongside Executive Chef Rob McDaniel. Over seven years, he rose to General Manager and Wine Director, deepening his knowledge of food, wine, and restaurant operations through both mentorship and independent study. In 2020, Daniel became the opening General Manager at Helen. Since day one, he’s played a foundational role in shaping Helen’s warm, intentional service culture and building a team committed to hospitality at every level. His leadership has been instrumental in establishing Helen as one of Birmingham’s most celebrated restaurants. In December 2024, he stepped into the role of Director of Operations for both Helen and Bayonet, where he oversees strategy, team development, and the guest experience across both restaurants. When he's not working, Daniel enjoys hitting the gym, practicing yoga, traveling, and spending time with friends.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 1, 2026, 9:25 PM UTC

- As printed A Birmingham, AL native, Emily McDaniel got her start in hospitality at 16, where she developed a passion for the fast-paced, people-oriented nature of the restaurant industry. She later spent nearly a decade in real estate on Lake Martin with Russell Lands, selling luxury second homes. During that time, she honed her expertise while building lasting relationships with clients and the community. In 2020, Emily returned to the restaurant industry to open Helen alongside her husband, Chef Rob McDaniel. In 2025, they opened Bayonet, a seafood and raw bar concept. That same year, both restaurants were recognized by the Michelin Guide, with Bayonet receiving a Bib Gourmand. Emily leads the business operations across both concepts, working behind the scenes on finance, human resources, team communications, social media, and community outreach—helping keep everything running day to day. Outside of work, she enjoys working in the yard, staying active, and spending time with Rob and their twin daughters.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 1, 2026, 9:25 PM UTC
