I have been forced to admit that progression in the deterioration of my spine has slowly halted my ability to work. I can now longer claim to deliver timely content creation/editing or training/speaking assignments. There is currently no treatment to halt or reverse this progression. I solicit your prayers and hope for the development of spine rebuilding and regeneration techniques, so this page remains. But I must admit my limitations and no longer solicit assignments.

Skyhorse Publishing of NY sought out Dan (not the other way around) to author its consumer-oriented book Secrets of Successful Financial Planning (SSFP). Authoring SSFP, along with Skyhorse’s encouragement, prompted Dan to retire and offer speaking and training engagements nationwide.
Providing copies of SSFP and having Dan speak at Client Appreciation events & seminars will make your reps far more effective. That’s because Dan and SSFP function as zero-bias, third-party endorsements of your representatives’ proper recommendations!
