Dan, an American Google executive, climate activist, inventor, explorer and entrepreneur.

Dan was raised on a farm in Norfork, Arkansas, and left home at age 15 to attend the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts in Hot Springs. He graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2004, earned a master's degree in intelligent robotics from the University of Southern California, and partially completed other graduate programs at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

In 2007, Dan became the head of "privacy" for the company's secretive ideas lab at Google X, at their Mountain View Headquarters. He was also an advisor on Project Loon, and the co-founder of The Laundry and Save the Ice. He launched Adventure Team, an effort to map geological areas and formations on Earth and was a co-inventor of more than a dozen software technologies that were patented by Google.

Prior to working at Google, Dan worked on future combat systems in the defense industry at Boeing.

Described as an "adverturer", Dan enjoyed living life to the fullest
