Dan has always loved dogs and has been surrounded by dogs almost his entire life. One of his best memories as a child was the day he won a dog (Winny the Pooch) after spending $0.50 in a carnival contest. Until 2015 Dan worked full time as an engineer, managing QA and IT departments. He gave most of that up to follow his passion. When the dogs are napping he still dabbles in engineering (programming mostly Python) and options trading.

He loves to take the dogs on adventures. Traveling most weeks to the beach or a lake, or hiking a nearby peak with the dogs. You may also see Dan biking or rollerblading with Jo Jo around town.
