Dan grew up on Lake Ontario, one hour east of Toronto.  He started playing hockey at age five and played until age fourteen.  He quit playing in 1989 when his family moved to the USA and resumed 18 years later playing for the Cobras!  He's the token Canadian on the team. :)   The Cobras were started when Dan agreed to join Yo Mama after offering the spot and subsequently having the position rescinded.  Rich said "screw that" and started a new team.  Thus the Cobras were born.
 
Dan built this site and offers web services though WebKit.  He's also a pro photographer
