After a successful engineering career in Silicon Valley, Dan turned his energy and analytical skills towards a much different pursuit. Instead of analyzing electronic devices, he uses the practice of Chinese Medicine to diagnose and treat patients. Dan was born and raised in Ohio. After graduating Summa Cu Laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Dayton, Dan moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from The University of California at Berkeley. After graduating, Dan spent the next decade working as an engineer in Silicon Valley. After turning to an acupuncturist who was able to successfully resolve several chronic health conditions, Dan was drawn to the medicine. Dan wanted to study it further in an attempt to understand how insertion of small needles was able to have such profound effects. Dan chose to study at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dan is a licensed acupuncturist with the state of California.
Dan operated a thriving acupuncture practice, Brannan Street Acupuncture, in the South Beach neighborhood of San Francisco for more than a decade.
Dan has now relocated to the Coachella Valley to open a new practice in Rancho Mirage with the additional focus on cosmetic treatments
