Raised on the outskirts of Hamilton Ontario, Canada, Dan spent many hours as a youth exploring the unique temperate broadleaf forests of the Niagara Escarpment which highly influences the organic nature of his personal artworks.

He has been working in the animation and video game industry as a visual development artist, designer and art director for the past decade and his work has been seen on a variety of familiar networks such as Disney, Nickelodeon, and HBO Max. In his spare time, Dan enjoys a myriad of physical activates such as ice hockey, hiking and beach volleyball. He enjoys working, learning and teaching in creative, collaborative environments and is currently open as a mentor to students and new professionals who posses passion, dedication and a strong work ethic.
