Dan's passion is creating moments that remind people of the gift and privilege of being alive. By day, he is the “Visual Strategist” for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. There he shepherds a team developing creative ways of communicating, and working to transform complex concepts into meaningful stories that can be universally understood. Their work is seen in public spaces, art museums, and is in outer space.
After doing the dishes, reading bedtime stories to his kids, and spending time with his wife, Dan works on other creative problem solving projects around the world. He is currently developing “The Museum of Awe” with cohorts Ivan Amato and David Delgado.
In 2012 Dan was selected as “One of the most interesting people in Los Angeles” by the LA Weekly. He currently lives in South Pasadena with his wife and three kids.
