ABOUT DAN
ABOUT DAN
I believe in leading with the heart, guided by warrior-like precision. My journey has been a deep dive into spirituality, physical discipline, and artistic expression. I've learned that true strength comes from vulnerability and that creativity is a powerful force for healing. I'm passionate about training individuals in acting and MMA to unleash their self-expression and build their confidence. This is a heart-centered approach to personal growth, grounded in both artistic vision and unwavering resolve.

I am a passionate advocate for personal transformation, with a unique blend of experiences that have shaped my resilience and creativity. My academic foundation lies in World Religions and Philosophy, where I graduated with honors, delving into the mystery of the human spirit.
The significant turning point in my life came in 2011 when I began working with plant medicines such as Ayahuasca and San Pedro. This profound journey into the depths of my own consciousness not only illuminated my struggles with depression—something I had been unaware of—but also led me to explore various spiritual modalities that have aided in my recovery and growth, including Indigenous wisdom, energy work and mysticism.
For over 10 years, I also trained extensively in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). This demanding physical practice not only honed my strength and discipline but also fostered immense personal growth. The confidence I gained on the mats translated into all aspects of my life. Along the way, I learned firsthand the importance of resilience, having been graced with the occasional (and sometimes not-so-occasional) punch in the face by some incredibly talented professional fighters.
With over 20 years of experience, I have worked extensively as a professional actor, appearing in network TV shows like "Suits" and "Pain Killers," and have voiced commercials for national brands. I am also a lead actor in the Emmy Award-winning web series "Guidestones," which required significant international travel. In 2009, I co-founded an acting studio to equip actors with the skills and confidence needed for film and TV auditions. My dedication to actor education continues through teaching roles at The Travelling Stage and leading workshops at the ACTRA conference, focusing on mastering commercial auditions.
But my journey extends beyond the stage and screen. It was the profound experience with plant medicines that opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of all life, sparking a deep desire to reconnect with nature. This led me to pursue courses in permaculture, rainwater harvesting, and regenerative farming. I believe wholeheartedly that we all need to cultivate a deeper relationship with the earth, recognizing the immense value it holds. This passion finds its expression as one of the land stewards at Merkaba Acres, where I focus on sustainable living practices, permaculture, and community engagement. I also serve as the volunteer coordinator, inviting others to join in this vital work.
