This is the moment everything changed.
It was 2016, and in 4 short years after this photo we’d have 3 kids under 3 years old: our oldest daughter followed by surprise twins.
I needed to get my business (and lifestyle) in shape. Despite making damn good money in my wedding photography business since 2010, I had nothing to show for it except mountains of debt. I was terrified, angry, and rudderless.
With no one to blame but myself, I used this as the kindling to transform my life, my business and my relationships to make each year since more meaningful, joy-filled, and profitable.
Now I’m on a journey to guide other photographers on how to put life and work together their way.
Rucking, prayer and meditation, quality time with my wife and kids, running, playing with Kettlbells, stretching, and reading!

Podcasting, on coaching calls with my delightful clients, making coffee and running!
YOU CAN FIND ME:
Unnecessary criticism, gossip, or any of that negative energy.
I'm NOT ABOUT:
Optimism, gratitude, transparency straight-talk, reading, being present one on one with another person.
I BELIEVE IN:
I'm Dan - certified life coach, podcaster, photographer, home project enthusiast, and blind optimist in the best sense of the phrase. I'm married to my supportive, bookish wife, Rachel, and a father to three young kiddos: our 7-year-old daughter and 4-year-old boy/girl twins. We're planted in a small suburb of Philadelphia, PA. We love our 100-year-old home, pizza, baseball, and hosting a good party!
I've been a full-time photographer since 2005. I started my photography business in 2010. In the years since, I also ran a photo booth company, an associate wedding photography studio, and a headshot and real estate photography brand. I co-hosted the Put A Ring on It Podcast which has over 500K downloads! Today, I'm happiest helping others grow in their business, personally and in their relationships.
Here's a secret I've discovered about coaching. Chances are you already have the information in you to get from where you're at to where you want to go. For some reason though, you've pushed it down, hid it, didn't believe it and set it aside. My favorite part of being a life coach is creating the space for my clients to uncover the strengths they buried for years, and take on their future with fresh eyes.
My superpower is being an extreme empath. It allows me to create a space free of judgment, where you can be yourself to explore the wilderness between your strengths and weaknesses.
“Dan helped me understand the value in myself and my time and helped me 3X my sessions fee with confidence.”

My Favorite Things
Obstacle Course Races. Having dates on the calendar to test my mental and physical limits helps to keep me active. An active Dan is a happy Dan.
Homemade coffee. I have too many coffee gadgets but each has helped me save thousands in purchasing coffee at cafes. So I call that a win!
Phillies baseball! My wife gave me our three children and my love of baseball. What a woman!
My Favorite Things
Dancing and bringing light to those around me! This Cheesy as heck, I know, but it's fact. Ask anyone who knows me.
I love a real donut. Like a bakery donut. I can thank my dad for that.

More about me
I'm just a normal, happily married, silly dad. I love blue jeans, fresh vegetarian food, campfires, running and doing too many house projects at once.
Let's find out what else we have in common.
