Dan has been guiding for MotoQuest since 2004. He started riding motorcycles at the age of 10. He grew up riding single track trails in Northern Michigan to later participate in the 6 Days of Michigan Enduro Ride. As a profession, Dan worked as a US Forest Service Ranger. His duty was off road riding his Government issued Honda XR250 on Enduro trails, enforcing National Forest Service laws. As a trained EMT, he used this training in remote locations for numerous ATV and OHV accidents. Dan has a unique wanderlust for motorcycle adventures and dirt riding. He is most at home when he is on tour because he loves exploring and sharing new adventures with MotoQuest's guests.
