Ohio born and raised, Dan pursued his passion for acting, improv and music throughout high school and into his first career as an on-air personality and production wizard at WTUE-FM in Dayton, Ohio. Praised by critics for his antics, "Dan-O" spent a decade with the legendary rock station until his true calling came to light as a voiceover actor. Starting locally, he soon exploded onto the national stage after a move to Portland, Oregon. Not only was the Pacific Northwest conducive to his career, it appears the ocean, mountains, rain forest, wine country, gourmet coffee and the world's largest independent bookstore has provided an amazing environment to raise two incredible kids alongside his talented, vivacious and brilliant wife, Niki.
