BIOGRAPHY

It all started in elementary school for Dan with his Summer Enrichment course in Musical Theater AND after that, he was hooked. Studying and performing a multitude of theatrical disciplines, Dan has honed his craft over the last decade, not always working in the field, but always keeping involved in one way or another.

After receiving a bachelor's of Political Science from the University of Montana, Dan worked in politics on multiple campaigns. Making sure to keep on stage or in front of the camera, he played small roles at the Missoula Children's Theatre and worked as Giovani Ribisi's Stand-in on the set of Michael Mann's Public Enemies.

Shortly after completed his degree in Montana, Dan headed oversees to pursue a Master's degree in Economics and Politics from Charles University. Two years later, upon his return to the U.S., Dan got work as an instructor of economics in Austin, TX, continuing his love for informing while performing.

Continuing his travels, Dan has found himself eventually back in KCMO, the city of his birth and has made himself busy getting back to work on sets and stages, in both dramatic and commercial work.

Look for him this July in the Fringe production of "The Land of Oohs and Ahhs".
