Dan loves telling visual stories.

He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011 with a major in Digital Media Design and a minor in Cinema Studies. He currently lives in New York City. His live-action and animated movies have played at international film festivals, and he's had articles and cartoons published on sites including McSweeney's, Cracked, and CollegeHumor. In his spare time, he enjoys describing himself in the third person.


Board To Death screened at the 2011 SoDak Animation Festival, at CutOut Fest 2011, and won a $10,000 prize in the 2011 OnVidi student film competition.

Socknapped won the Audience Favorite award at the 2011 UPenn Film Festival.

I write funny short stories on my Twitter account.

I'm a long-time member of Improv Everywhere, a New York City-based comedy group.

I was a contestant on the old Nickelodeon game show Double Dare as a kid.
