About Dan

My mission as a life coach is to empower you to live a healthier, happier and more meaningful life. I enjoy influencing people towards positive life changes and have found that my genuine concern for the lives of those around me has provided me with ongoing motivation. From individuals to small businesses and organizations, my ambition is to help clients maximize their God-given talents, abilities, and skills.

In addition to life coaching, I have worked for the Johnson and Jackson County Departments of Health as an Environmental Health Specialist since 1975. Not only has my experience in this field taught me how to set up action steps towards achieving goals, but it developed in me a passion for helping others to live happier, healthier and more productive lives. After graduating from the Coach's Training Institute, I was able to refine these skills into a life coaching career that enables me to directly influence those who are determined to see change in their lives.

This career has played a strong role in my own life as well. My wife, Shelley, and I have two sons and currently live near Lake MacBride in Solon, Iowa. Some of my passions include worshiping, family outings, playing cards, boating, and traveling.
