Dan took time to help me learn alot about internet marketing ten years ago just because…whenever I had questions, he was there always willing to give advise. I hope I always remember that and reach out to help others the way he did for me.
Dan was a pioneer and visionary in the DRTV online space.
He made an important impact on the DRTV industry and his presence will be missed.
Our sincere condolences go out to his family.
Dan,
Thanks! You’re still the Man! I will miss you!
