Dan’s a failed-art-director-turned-copywriter, northern-born, southern-raised confusing mess of a person. But a good mess. An organized mess. Like when you know exactly where a great pair of socks is amongst a pile of clothes by your bed.
When he’s not making advertisements, he’s cooking, watching TV, or, his favorite hobby, taking the escalator.
