Dan has lived in Chicago, IL, his entire life. He was raised in a faith-filled home and attended religious schools throughout his education, graduating from DePaul University in 1998 with a BA in Communications and a minor in Business Administration. 

While Dan has always believed in Jesus, he never truly had a relationship with the Lord until 2007. It was through deep brokenness and a return to a relationship with the Lord that forever changed his life. Dan learned first-hand through much pain that “total surrender, obedience, and absolute dependence is the greatest way for me to truly experience the delivering and transformative power of God’s love and grace. It is the best way for me to experience all that God wants to do in my life.”

Dan’s passion is one-on-one Discipleship, and his true joy is seeing others get victory through coming into and growing in their relationship with Christ. His passion is for the very broken people of this world, and he has served in many ministries over the years, including High School & Adult Recovery ministry, Biblical Counseling, and Homeless ministry.

Dan is currently an Elder at 180 with the primary responsibility of overseeing and developing Outreach ministries. Dan loves sports and carpentry, loves being of service to others, and loves to golf, sing, and travel. Most of all, he loves being a dad to his daughter Delaney.
