He proudly served 13 years as a HIV Case Worker at the former AIDS Network, now known as Vivant Health; and has been at his current job as the Human Services Program Coordinator for the AIDS/HIV Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) for the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Dan took great pride in touching & impacting the lives of so many. He was “the fun” son, brother, boss, coworker and friend. Dan loved to cook and share his creations with family and friends. There are so many words to describe him, and we’ve heard wonderful stories and testaments about his impact. He was loved by many and had a significant impact on the lives of others!

He loved serving as a volunteer EMT with the West Grant Rescue Squad and as a part time charter bus driver for WARCO Transportation in Bloomington.
