Dan is an attorney who has practiced in both Indiana and Michigan for over 25 years. In 2000, Dan came to California to act as General Counsel for Initiative Media, which at that time was the largest independent purchaser of media in the world. The Los Angeles based company was acquired by an advertising conglomerate, and all corporate functions were eventually transitioned to New York City. Dan, however, chose to stay in Southern California.

While in private practice, Dan acted as a Receiver and represented Receivers in State Court cases. He has also represented Trustees in US Bankruptcy Court. He has served as Judge Pro- Tem, in addition to mediator in the Michigan District Courts. Dan has extensive experience in consumer and commercial collection matters, as well as insolvency issues. Dan is also experienced in out-of-court work-outs and settlements from both in his private practice cases and while in-house at Initiative.

In 2003, Dan joined with Mosier & Co. to oversee the day-to-day administration of an Investment and Retirement Account Management operation that was placed into Receivership by the SEC. During this assignment, he negotiated out of leases and oversaw the administration and eventual sale of the business that provided back-room support for roughly 220 pension plans.

Dan earned his BA from Wabash College and his JD from Indiana University Law School. He also completed a six month foreign study program at Waseda University in Tokyo Japan.

Dan has served on various Bar Association Committees in both Indiana and Michigan and has been a Seminar presenter/speaker on numerous occasions. In addition, he taught Business Law as an adjunct professor at Indiana Central University in Indianapolis, Indiana.
