He combines his love of writing with his gizmo fascination to craft books that are informative and entertaining. Having written over 170 titles with millions of copies in print and translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of creating computer tomes seems to work.

Dan enjoys spending his leisure time gardening, biking, woodworking, and annoying people who think they’re important.
