Outside of work, Dane stays busy kiteboarding, snowboarding and hiking. He also enjoys photography, brewing his own beer and inventing the internet. Throughout his journey he’s worked as a wilderness guide, snowboard instructor, camp counselor, windsurfing director, envelope stuffer, test grader, shipping manager, pizza thrower, humor writer, arts reporter, jazz musician and barista.

Dane worked as a professional web designer and developer for over five years, and he was the lone gun behind Brainside Out, a tiny web design shop. He’s also been a web director, marketing director, web support specialist, webmaster, web developer, web designer, and web designer/developer. For his efforts Dane has been paid in beer, fame, coffee, pottery, pirate hats, music, grills and scooters. Oh yes, and money.

Dane knows how to drive a stick shift, paddle a canoe, climb a mountain, back up a boat trailer, make a martini, and sneak into formal invite-only dinners. Dane is a superhero for a new generation.

He loves tea and saunas.
