Hi, I’m Dan!

Honestly, I’m not usually this cranky—but then again, that’s probably what all cranky people say about themselves.

I’m your typical Gen-X geek dad, with all the usual traits you’d expect. I groan loudly when I sit down—and again when I get up. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of '80s pop culture, occasionally enjoy a cigar, and have a thing for gardening.

Beyond that cliché, I work as an executive producer for a global publishing house, and in a previous life, I was a photojournalist covering war zones around the world.

Oh, and by the way, I write this blog for me. It’s therapeutic. Glad you find it entertaining, but that’s really just a bonus.
