Second to his salvation in Jesus Christ, Dan’s proudest moments involve his bride Carol, and Amy 16, Wesley 14, Jessica 11, and Benjamin 8. Following career stints at LTV Steel and Caterpillar, Dan joined YFC in 2002. He loves reading, he once was athletic, he enjoys being playful and acting like an adult – some are actually convinced. His passion is to see Christians live in authentic, caring community (see Acts 2 – last 6 verses). Out of that passion, Dan believes that folks, who don’t know Jesus Christ, will become attracted to the body of Christ and then receive God’s perfect forgiveness of sins, and then confidently live on His behalf.

favorite verse:
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

hebrews 10:24-25
