Dan is a highly motivated and dynamic professional with significant senior level management experience in the arts, entertainment and hospitality sectors. He has a wide ranging and detailed skills base including project planning and delivery, strategic management, company level accounting, market analysis and marketing, team building and natural front line client and community engagement skills.
His career has taken him from arts co-ops and pirate radio to the music industry, nightclubs and entertainment venues, online communities, galleries, members clubs and public arts spaces. Some have been commercially very successful, most have just about stood up on their own, a couple have bombed spectacularly. All have in common the aim - thankfully often achieved - of making meaningful encounters or chapters in other peoples lives, whilst making commercial sense for those involved, however humble.
Dan is currently MD of Firestation Arts & Culture CIC, a social enterprise based in Windsor, UK and writing a paper on models for 21st century sustainable arts provision entitled 'Kick Out The Jams - 21st century aesthetics, exploding culture and massive diversification in public arts'.
