Inspiration from within
Dan’s personal story of overcoming incredible obstacles and rebuilding his life has taken him just about everywhere, from the boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies to conferences and festivals around the world.

WARRIOR
Dan credits Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) with his successful rehabilitation, which instilled a “can-do” attitude, positive outlook and passion for helping his fellow wounded warriors in him. He quickly became an advocate for the organization, inspiring both his peers and the public to create positive change for themselves and those around them, simply by sharing his powerful story. Dan’s charismatic personality and relatable, lively approach resonated with audiences of all shapes and sizes, and he soon found himself sharing his story with hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

More recently, Dan discovered the life-changing power of yoga, which has enabled him to heal from the invisible wounds of war in a way that nothing else could. He quickly realized that other wounded warriors could benefit from yoga in the same way and knew he had to become an instructor. Dan became a Baptiste Yoga teacher in 2015, and now incorporates the notion of “yoga for every-body” into his speeches and classes, encouraging people from all walks of life – and veterans in particular – to take up the practice.
SPEAKER
Word of Dan’s efforts spread quickly, and he has been invited to teach yoga throughout the world, from the White House in Washington, DC to the Africa Yoga Project in Nairobi, Kenya. Nowadays, when he’s not leading classes for hundreds of participants, Dan can usually be found sharing his passion for life, WWP, yoga and his fellow wounded warriors with the attendees of major events ranging from the Bank of America 500 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway to the Wisdom 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.
SURVIVOR
Most recently, Dan has fought and won against Stage 3 Colon Cancer as well as a host of life-threatening conditions as a result of surgical complications from a failed surgical anastomosis in removing a tumor from his cecum. After 8 months, 6 rounds of chemotherapy and 2 more major surgeries to repair the damage from the initial colon resection, Dan is now more invigorated than ever to share his story, the lessons he’s learned as a result and the practices that kept him sane, at peace and in the right mindset to heal completely and win this second fight for his life. He’s not just a survivor, but a thriver, despite the challenges and obstacles that have tried to take him out.
If you want to create a survivor-thriver attitude in your organization, then Dan is your man.

Meditation is a powerful tool.
It helps business leaders, athletes, professional sports teams, and executives perform at their highest levels.
It’s helped me do the same, but find a peace, a calming, and a focus unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
I want to share this gift of meditation with you because I know what results it’s had in my life and I wish those same results for you.
