At ten years old Dan found that God had given him certain talents in art and writing. At that time he wrote two complete short fiction stories. At age sixteen he demonstrated his artistic talent in watercolor, sketching and sculpting, winning first place in a school art contest.
His family often went to the movies at one of the downtown LA movie theaters. Eager to learn how motion pictures were made he would often go to the LA Library to find out particularly how special effects were made.
Later, after graduating from high school in 1968, he studied filmmaking on his own.
In 1971 he was drafted into the Army, during the Vietnam era. He served in the motion picture branch of the service.
During that time in the Army Dan studied the Bible to understand its teachings.
Upon his honorable release from serving four years in the military, Dan took up theology courses at a Christian College. He also took up a few business courses.
In 1988 he took and passed the producer course offered at a community television station and studios. A short time afterward he studied computers and was soon building and repairing computers.
Dan had always felt that there should be a movie produced with the Bible truths concerning the Lord’s coming in it so that millions who may not be reached by any other way may be reached by such a popular medium.
In January 2009, while attending a Bible prophecy seminar Dan felt that the Lord impressed him to start writing a script for a full featured movie. By the end of that month he had written a short 34-page script for a video on how to witness or Christ, knowing that one must start small. But the Lord impressed him that the film would be an epic motion picture on His second coming. Dan began to write a feature film script, finishing the epic film script eight years later. He wrote the novel version of the script in three years time. A lot of careful research went into both projects. He found Christina Roth to be a wonderful editor for the novel version.
Now, Dan is currently the author of THE LAST MESSENGERS and director of his own film and media production company, 3 Angel Media.
