As a youth, Dan dreamed of becoming an avid angler and landing rainbows in the Yukon. At thirteen, using a light action rod, six pound test and yellow Klinkhammer, Dan landed his first seven-pounder and realized his dream.
Today, Dan’s angling for big stories on behalf of clients. And, as an accredited PRSA professional with 27 years’ experience, he’s landed several for Experian, Hilton, Merck, Pfizer, The Irvine Company, Toyota and Yamaha, among many others.
All plans start with strategic planning – establishing goals, identifying target audiences and creating compelling messages. Then determining ways to reach those targets effectively, implementing plans and measuring results.

He earned a Bachelor’s in English from Arizona State and Master’s in Journalism from USC.
Since he no longer visits the Yukon, he satisfies his craving by flipping his own version of fish sticks at home with the family.
