About

A life-long learner, Dan recently completed a Master of Arts in Writing at Johns Hopkins University, concentrating in nonfiction. He also recently participated in the Summer Writing Workshop at Yale University. Adaptability, resilience, curiosity, and a deep desire to continuously learn are traits he developed over time, often out of necessity, but are now core to his being. Those traits helped ensure his career continued on a positive, meaningful and challenging trajectory. Dan enjoys helping others develop those same types of traits as they progress in their careers and lives.

Utilizing his recently honed writing skills, Dan is currently working on a true-crime manuscript and screenplay that focuses on a brutal 1960s crime in The Crossroads of America. The lessons and tragedies of that crime are as relevant today as they were in the 1960s.

The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature published an excerpt from the manuscript in September 2021. Dan also sees the lighter side of life and is an experienced storyteller, public speaker, presenter, and stand-up comedian.
