Dan's Bio

Dan (he/him) is a born-and-raised Calgarian who has spent the majority of his professional career eating his way through the Canadian food and beverage scene. Although he was initially in search of great-tasting food, what he found instead was a passion for both the environment and his local community. When Dan isn’t working, you can likely find him shooting hoops on a neighbourhood basketball court, riding his bike through Calgary’s vast pathway network, or exploring the wonder of the Canadian Rockies.
