Dan was professionally programming video games before the Internet was well established. After graduating from Harvard University with an honors degree in Computer Science, he co-founded a video game development company in San Francisco. Soon realizing the potential of wireless technology in a world becoming increasingly interconnected, the team shifted focus to start up BITMO, providing cross-platform wireless commerce and communications solutions to businesses. BITMO merged with MobileSys which was later acquired by mBlox, a leading global mobile transaction network. Recently, Dan has consulted for video game and web companies, using enerprise development experience to integrate the two. Staying abreast of evolving new technologies, Dan once again found the wireless revolution to be today's sweet spot.
