Desert Dan is the Colorado River Valley's most respected Certified TRIKKE Trainer! As a full-time law enforcement officer at all levels (city, county, and state), he was responsible for training new recruits and college interns.  Leaving law enforcement, after 10 years, Dan spent the next 5 years as a Youth / Adult Pastor, as that was the career Dan had chosen prior to Law Enforcement. After 4 successful years in this equally challenging field, he and his wife of 23 years, had twin daughters.  It was at this point  that Dan decided to be a stay-at-home father, for a season, and began building internet businesses/websites with a close friend.  He always knew that on a one-on-one level, he could really make a positive difference in people's lives and greatly missed the personal interaction he had had with people of all ages.

Recently, Dan and his wife started Desert Dan's TRIKKEs after a visit to Trikke Tech. Inc. in Santa Barbara County, CA.  Shortly after meeting with the company's Top 2 executives,  he attended an advanced program at a TRIKKE-sponsored Training Academy located in Michigan, where he achieved a rare Level 3 Certified Trainer status.  Dan admits that his TRIKKE training client is responsible for achieving results, and that it takes discipline and determination. But Dan's techniques soften the blow by making training fun, challenging, and a bit different each time.

Dan holds a bachelor's degree equivalent in Criminal Justice, with a minor in Religious Studies.  His wife and he are originally from the Detroit, MI area and greatly enjoy the change of life that moving west has brought them.
