Dan serves in a leadership role in the School of Behavior Happens, the innovative division of Implementation Scientists, LLC offering online learning for parents and professionals alike. The School of Behavior Happens is a solutions-based space that infuses adult learning best practices as well as implementation science-based strategies to ensure that individuals (or teams) who spend their valuable time learning with us, also leave with skills that will allow them to put their knowledge into practice in the “real world”. Dan is the Statistical Data Coordinator for the Florida Center for Inclusive Communities at the University of South Florida with responsibilities of designing, implementing, and maintaining database systems for major educational initiatives serving districts, school staff, families, and adult self-advocates with disabilities seeking self-employment, as well as coordinating online learning efforts for these projects.
Dan holds an MBA degree from the University of South Florida with a focus on Advanced Information Systems Management. He was first introduced to database design in the mid-90s when serving as a non-commissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps. He brings 25 years of experience in database design and management as well as15 years of experience in online course content design and delivery.
In his free time, Dan enjoys long walks and park visits with Zoe, his little bundle-of-energy rescue dog adopted from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.
A Fun Memory
“This past year I was afforded the opportunity to dedicate more weekly hours to website and materials redesign and tasks related to marketing the School of Behavior Happens, our online portal dedicated to continuing education for Board Certified Behavioral Analysts. Zoe, our vice ‘paws-ident’ of Trailblazing, worked diligently by my side all day, every day. She provided much-needed inspiration as well as mandatory ‘fresh air’ breaks outdoors.”
