His greatest passions are serving kids and advocating for justice. As a professional LEGO brick builder, Dan loves to create innovative learning resources that incorporate brick building--and that effectively connect with people who live with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, like Dan. These days, you're likely to find Dan knee deep in excited kids, building bricks, or pages of new poetry and children's lit. You might also find him outside tending to the ducks, rabbits, and sheep on his small farm.
