When Dan isn’t saving the world from nefarious evil-doers, swashbuckling on the high seas in search of sunken treasure, or rescuing kittens from trees, he is a mild-mannered 5th-grade teacher at Academy School. This is his sixth year of teaching and his third at Academy. Dan believes that flexibility, a positive mindset, and a good sense of humor are essential for success in (and out of) the classroom.

He graduated from Westfield State University in 2017 with a Bachelor's in Elementary education with a concentration in Elementary mathematics and an SEI endorsement.
