Personal Details

Bio

Dan motivates audiences to overcome adversity and achieve a new heart for life by sharing his personal stories.

Dan reached a low point in his life after the dot com crash and endured several years of unemployment. Both his life savings and network were lost. Driven by his passion to help connect others in similar situations, Dan founded The Networking Community and authored the published book, Tales from The Networking Community.

Along with overcoming emotional adversity, Dan survived open heart surgery where his life was revived multiple times during the operation and came-back to achieve top USA ranking as a masters track athlete receiving All American honors from the United States Track and Field Association.

Upon learning of his near-death experience and athletic accomplishments, The American Heart Association published Dan's story "A New Heart for Life" in their survivor gallery to inspire millions of people with heart disease to achieve a healthy and fit lifestyle.

Dan shares these experiences and more, teaching life principles that bring about profound change, no matter how dire the situation may be.
