Dan likes the view from both the front and back ends of development projects. He believes that technology should be the solution to, rather than cause of, problems. To him, no job is complete without a few quality high fives. Extra points for style and difficulty. When he's not geeking out about API's, semantic markup or strict grid based layouts, Dan's somewhere high in the Rockies (we’re talking about altitude presumably)—snowboarding, mountaineering, or just having fun in the sunshine with a dog or two.
