Before becoming a Chief Information Officer for national and international; health care, social service, community and educational institutions, Dan spent his time huddled over a typewriter pounding out poems and snippets of stories.

In the last few years he has taken to pounding the keys again. This site contains a range of his work spanning the last forty years.

Wisdom Comes In Many Forms

It is not your responsibility to finish the work of perfecting the world, but you are not free to desist from it either.”

Rabbi Tarfon, Pirke Avot 2:21

As we express our gratitude we must never forget that the highest form of appreciation is not to utter the words but to live them.

John F. Kennedy

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.

Dr. Seuss
