About Dan.
I’ve spent over 25 years helping men, fathers, and professionals untangle their pain, show up more fully in their lives, and build relationships that actually work. I’m not here to fix anyone — I’m here to help people do the kind of inner work most of us were never taught to do.
I’m a man with over 30 years of recovery from addiction and all kinds of additional personal work to help me, a husband of 21 years with lots of highs and lows, and a father — which means I’ve wrestled with all the things I talk about: shame, disconnection, masculinity, intimacy, and identity. Through my books, my trainings, and my work in the field, I’ve helped thousands of men and thousands of those who support them help men stop performing, start healing, and live with more courage, clarity, and connection. I am honored to serve on the board of White Bison, an amazing organization supporting tribes, first nation’s and indigenous people around the world with wellbriety. I also serve on the board of NSA-SoCal, a local chapter of the National Speakers Association, a wonderful organization that supports speakers of all kinds in every aspect of our businesses.
The work I do is rooted in one simple belief: when we help men open their hearts and heal their pain, everything can change.

“As a therapist I can’t express how insightful and educational this curriculum is. When presenting this material to my group of male clients I observed they were able to embrace the material and provide emotional insight like I’ve never seen before. Throughout my 25 years of clinical experience, and as a wife I appreciated the opportunity to gain a new perspective into a fathers multitude of responsibilities and challenges. I can’t recommend this enough! Phenomenal curriculum, I highly recommend!”

“In my experience with Chemical Dependency counseling this workbook has been a blessing. Too often it is assumed that abstinence from drugs is the goal, when in fact it is just the beginning. When paired with “A Man’s Way through the 12 Steps” the challenge of living life on life’s terms is presented as the ultimate goal for long term recovery. The men I have worked with and continue to work with would attest to that.”
