Maine is Home
Dan lives in Kennebunk with his wife, surrounded by four generations of family across southern Maine, including his two young grandsons and their parents.
That long view shapes the way Dan thinks about public service. The decisions Maine makes today should create opportunities for the people who live here now, while protecting what makes this a good place for the generations that follow.
An Experienced Professional
Dan’s professional life has centered on helping people prepare for a changing world.
Before entering the Legislature, he spent 35 years in book publishing, working in scientific and technical fields creating content for professionals and college students. He later brought that experience into consulting through New World Associates, where his work included leading the Workforce Summit for Industry 4.0 in collaboration with the American Society for Engineering Education, where he chaired their Corporate Member Council, and served two terms as a Director. Those roles brought together people from education and industry to address shared challenges, experience that continues to influence the way Dan approaches leadership today.
A Commitment to Community
Dan’s commitment to public service began close to home. Dan served on the Town of Kennebunk Budget Board from 2020-22 and acted as its liaison to RSU 21. In 2025- 2026, Dan served as co-president of the Kennebunk Rotary Club, the leading donor of scholarships to high school graduates in RSU21.
Dan remains active in Rotary and other local civic organizations, including with a collaborative effort to improve substance use programming for young people in the community.
