The most frequent comment to his music over the years (for whatever reason) has been that it "sounds European", specifically "German". Dan's musical influences include, but are not limited to: Peter Gabriel, Garbage, Pink Floyd, The Cars, Sound Garden, STP, Mariah Carey, MC Hammer, Rush, Yes (in the days of Trevor Rabin), Janet Jackson (“the best things in life are free”), Alanis Morissette, Beck, Madonna, The Fixx, Unknown Techno house-grooves, the 80’s new-wave synth-pop trend, Hip-hop hurray!, select Top-40 songs over the years & Alternative Radio in total.

Dan’s other interests include, but are not limited to: God, snow boarding, fast motorcycles, whitewater kayaking /rafting-(guide only), mountain climbing, martial arts, acting & physical fitness in general. He’s a kook surfer and a wannabe extreme sportsman as well. Dan relies on charisma, charm, wit, moderate good looks, luck, friends and the good Lord’s mercy to get by in life. His values that start with the letter "F" quite Frankly are: Freedom, Friends, Flexibility, Food, Fortune & Fame to name a Few. Nick names - good and bad - that ‘friends’ have labeled him with in the past are: Disco Dan (8th grade), Desperate Dan, Dangerous Dan, Danbo & Itshall. On a good day he goes by "Dan", "Danny" or "Daniel" (take your pick) and describes himself as a patriotic, genuine & loyal dude (not a “sir’”) who once thought he was cool, but no longer cares. End of story - - “peace - out”.
