Dan is a comedy writer from Chicago turned LA beach rat (with the tank top tan to prove it). During the day, he’s an Associate Creative Director at AwesomenessTV, pitching original programming for Awesomeness, Awestruck, and DreamworksTV. As a writer, he’s created shows, shorts, and pilots—on top of national commercials and ad campaigns for Kia Motors, Harley-Davidson, Jack in the Box, and Universal Studios. His original comedy musical, Musical Therapy, is currently playing in Chicago, DC, and (cross your fingers) LA. And his short film, Magic H8 Ball, premieres this summer.
