Hello — my name is Dan! I was born in the southern part of India but have spent much of my childhood and adult life around the world—an experience I deeply cherish. Living across continents, I've come to feel at home in multiple cultures, and delight in the blending of languages, foods, and the many expressions of beauty & meaning found in each culture.

These experiences, along with my training through Youth With A Mission and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, have shaped in me a deep love for the world’s cultures and worldviews. I believe the gospel of Jesus speaks to the deepest longings of every human heart, and I’m captivated by the grand story of Scripture—the sweeping narrative of a God who loves, pursues, redeems, and restores all people to Himself. My greatest passion is to walk alongside others as they wrestle with questions of faith, meaning, and purpose, and to help them discover their place in God's beautiful story.

I'm married to a champion-mom Kristen and am a proud girl-dad to Adelene, Sahana & Selah – with whom I get to host tea parties, play dress-up, and administer fancy manicures & pedicures to my heart’s content!

I’m a big fan of nature, music, badminton, tennis, and Biryani—and would love the chance to get to know you over a meal (whether trying your favorite dish or introducing you to mine!)
