When asked to describe himself in just a few words Dan answered: "Passionate
about life." No doubt much of this influence has come from many of the unique
experiences Dan has had so far. At the age of fifteen he spent six months in
Germany as an exchange student immersing himself in the culture, attending
high school, and living with a host family. Describing the time in
Europe he said, "I really feel this is one of the monumental experiences in my life
that just awakened my eyes to the world out there that is waiting to be lived."

After high school Dan attended Northwest State Community College in
Archbold, Ohio for two years where he attained two associated degrees of
Business Management and Marketing. He then was admitted into the
University of Pittsburgh's "Semester at Sea"
program where he spent an academic semester sailing
the world visiting various destinations abroad, gathering stories such as
trekking the amazon, shark diving with great whites, and climbing the Great
Wall of China. He recently graduated from Miami University with a
bachelor's degree of International Studies.

Dan recorded his first album, "Reflections of Christmas," in 2001which was
followed by "Secret Place" in 2003. It has been three years since Dan
released his last CD, but it seems he's almost three times as excited about this
up-and-coming project. "I'm ecstatic to release 'Imaginations,' I really feel I've
just grown so much as an artist. I know everyone says that, and it gets kind of
trite, but it's absolutely the truth in this case! Lately I've been in a season of my
life where I've been inspired to dream bigger and to live life more fully - a
season where my 'Imaginations' have soared to new heights and each day my
eyes are awakened to something new, something divine."
