Dan spent 20 years pursuing fly fishing to a level resembling less passion and more like an incurable disease. With a BA from St. Lawrence University and armed with an appreciation for the arts and literature, Dan guided throughout the West, became the first American guide to work in Seychelles, and eventually competed for the US Fly Fishing Team in the National and World Championships to become one of the most accomplished anglers in Jackson.
In addition to his love of fly fishing, Dan spent 11 years working in the nonprofit sector of Human Services before completing his MA in Public Administration from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, where he focused on nonprofit ecology and management. After jumping into the development field, Dan has found a way to blend both worlds with Protect Our Water Jackson Hole and supporting the work crucial to protecting Jackson Hole residents’ environment and health.
When not advocating for humans and fish, you may find him volunteering for local nonprofits, hiking around watersheds, or cooking for friends and family.
