Dan was recommended by his friend Shayne: "Dan is genuine and caring, he's a good person in all aspects of life. It sounds cliche but he's cool, funny and a true friend. He has great taste in music and food (he's a DJ and a chef!). He is also smart and successful in his career, and deserves to meet someone who appreciates his big heart."
Here's Dan, in his own words:
What’s at the top of your LA bucket list? To surf, snowboard and mountain bike all in one day.
Beach, mountains, or desert? Mountains if you're holding a gun to my head, but I like all three!
What's your favorite bar? Good Luck Bar... strong, tasty cocktails at $10 a pop in 2015 is G.O.A.T. status.
What's the most interesting date you've been on so far in LA? That time that a celebrity was our Uber driver.
What are three must-have items you’d stash in your earthquake kit (aside from the necessities)? A Space blanket, a handheld water purifier and a bottle of whiskey (for barter/consumption).
FYF, Burning Man or the LA Phil? LA Phil, mainly because roiling seas of humanity are not my thing.
What fictional LA character would you most like to spend the day with? The guys from Swingers.
What’s your ideal first date spot and why? Drinks and a bite followed by an event... it's not as drawn out as a dinner and gives you both opportunities to bail out tactfully if there just isn't any chemistry.
