He went on to become a founding member of the Grammy Award winning band, OK Go and has played drums with them for the last 20 years. OK Go began recording and touring in 1998, and they haven’t stopped yet. The band was signed to Capitol Records in 2001, and won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video by 2006. Nominated for two more Grammy Awards since, OK Go continue to receive a multitude of other honors and awards from two MTV Music Video Awards to two YouTube Music Video awards and, notably, the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award.

In 2009, Dan decided to branch out from the band to also become a more involved writer and collaborator.

    Great guy, easy to work with and can bring your vision into something real and professional.

    I gave Dan one heck of a messy track, with stems that must have sacked to work with; and he absolutely nailed it! Musical magician 🎩 😁

    Dan did an amazing job mixing, mastering and getting the exact sound that I was looking for on my song. He also recorded drums and has an excellent steel guitar player that tied it all in. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Dan!

    **100% recommend**
    This time around, I gave Dan a HECK of a challenge. A good little song with the flattest, dullest, crummiest production
    In my mind, if Dan could make sound 'a bit better', I would have considered it a win
    However, Dan took the challenge & went ABOVE & BEYOND and basically saved the song entirely. The results is overwhelmingly better than I could ever hope for
    Always got great service from Dan, and this time around, he even found a way to raise the bar even higher!

    It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dan on a song for my upcoming album. He's very patient, responsive, and he was able to produce the song with the exact vibe I was looking for. The instruments in the production sound very lively, and the mastering was great! I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone looking for quality music production.

    This guy really knows what he's doing.
    I've tried a lot of mixers over the years but he will be ranked 1st as the best for me, I will send my songs to him from now on. Don't hesitate if you're sitting on a mix that doesn't come out. He does it. Thanks dan :)
