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.
He graduated Icon Collective in 2011, focusing on music production and mixing.
.

    I'm so grateful to have connected and worked with Dan -- he took a demo that I've written back in 2019 and turned it into the best version of itself. I'm proud to say it is finally seeing the light of day, thanks to him! Communicative, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, Dan put so much time and care into this project, and it is so appreciated -- if you have the opportunity to work with Dan and his team, DO IT!

    Great mix/master engineer. Very communicative and open to fine-tuning track(s) together.

    Dan really does some kind of magic with our songs. He delivers amazing results very quickly with very minimal need for any changes. He listens and responds to our requests for changes, if any, and turns it back around very quickly. It's such a relief to have found someone who we can rely on to mix our songs the way that we want them to sound. Thank you!

    My second time working with Dan. He and his production partner Chris do a fantastic job taking care of the low end/groove on my tracks! Very easy to work with!

    Dan is a quality drummer and went above and beyond, giving me both treated and raw files to use based on my preferences. Dan also showed enthusiasm for the project beyond what I was expecting when I initially enquired, and it made choosing him an easy decision.

    I fully recommend Dan!

    Dan crushed the song I sent him. I've found a ton of great drummers on SB but Dan has a feel that's hard to replicate and a adds personality to the song in a tasteful, elevated way. Will be working with him on many more records in the future.

    Dan was super friendly and knew exactly how to transform my song with his team. I especially appreciated his passion and his willingness to take notes on the final arrangement and adjust effectively.

    It's always a pleasure to work with Dan. He always manages to get a great, professional sounding mix out of our non-professional "bedroom studio" recordings! Dan listens to our wants and and concerns, and he is always quick to respond and receptive to our suggestions. We will absolutely be working with Dan on more of our songs in the future.
