Well, for one, he's a funny guy (at least that's what his mother has been telling him.) Dan's been making people laugh for years (although having that wart removed from the center of his forehead did make the job harder.)
Dan believes that God has given him the gift of humor and has called him to do more than just use it to torment his relatives and friends. A veteran of 30+ years with Verizon Communications (you know - the telephone company), he has somehow managed to maintain a sense of humor. During his career with Verizon, Dan honed his presentation skills as an instructor, facilitator, and motivator (he apparently motivated a lot of people to retire early.) He has taught effective communications skills, conflict resolution, teamwork, and feedback skills just to name a few, and believes that you can laugh and learn at the same time. Dan's at home in front of an audience (a kind one that is) as a result of many years of experience performing in local Community Theatre groups, Barbershop Choruses and quartets, and a gospel outreach group called Joyful Noise.
Dan got a late start in this Christian Comedy business. Like Moses, Abraham, and others, God wanted to let Dan grow and develop before he called him into His service. Well, it worked. I grew from a waist size of 28 to 38, back down to 34,and am currently hovering somewhere in between. I remember thinking many times to myself over the years, "Why has my life been so miserable? Why have I failed at so many different things? Why can't I drive a nail straight?" Then, one day, it came to me. God was giving me material! |
