After having 1/5th of his lung removed Dan switched from aviation and joined the IT Training department. He is currently the Director of Training and Software Services at JAARS.

Dan enjoys reworking antique former military trucks so he can drive over 55 gallon drums without touching them. He likes to grunt when he drives Big Blue. If you ask him about Big Blue you will be sorry. You will offend him if you call Big Blue a nice Jeep.
