Dan joins Audubon Vermont as a Policy Intern during his final semester at the Vermont Law School while pursuing his Juris Doctorate and Master of Environmental Law and Policy. An Ohio native, Dan attended the University of Cincinnati earning a B.S. in Environmental Studies, minoring in Political Science. When able to escape his desk, Dan can be found hiking, skiing, fishing, learning the guitar, or front-row stage-right wherever great music is played.

While Dan was instantly infatuated with the natural splendor found only in Vermont, his love and dedication to nature sprouted from Boy Scouting where he earned the rank of Eagle. Aspiring to “leave his campsite cleaner than the way he found it,” he determined law and policy provided the best tools to achieve his professional objectives: achieving sustainability and conserving the natural environment so those in the future can enjoy it as much as he has.

Dan is thrilled to contribute to the sublime advocacy work accomplished by Audubon Vermont, and considers himself quite fortunate to be under the wing of David Mears; an excellent supervisor and mentor.
