Dan earned his diplomas in personal training and nutritional consultation in 2008 and over the years has experimented with various training styles, expanding his research and experience in order to continue to aid others and himself in continued progression. As a veteran, Dan has discovered a phenomenal opportunity within the H.E.L.O. Foundation to give back to all those who have undergone the same hardships as he and his colleagues.
