Throughout his career, Dan has honed his ability to use experiential methodology to help others improve their confidence, leadership, and interpersonal skills.  He is just as comfortable working with underprivileged youth as he is with Fortune 500 Executives.  As a professional musician and performer, Dan brings a high level of creativity and fun to his work in organizational development.  As a computer geek, he has been very successful in navigating the pivot to virtual facilitation and has put out multiple publications on the subject.

Outside of work, Dan has traveled around the world seeking out some of the most beautiful natural spaces to explore. Some of his favorites include the Overland Trek in Tasmania and Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. Closer to home in Asheville, North Carolina, he can be found climbing and hiking in Pisgah National Forest or spending quality time with family and friends.
