Pastor Dan has been preaching the gospel since the age of 18 and has been in pastoral ministry since 2015. He has served as pastor and founder of Hope for You Ministries, which started in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In 2003, Pastor Dan spent three years working as a Recovery Specialist for a faith-based initiative program, which assisted young adults and adults with substance abuse problems. This program was implemented by former President, George W. Bush who pushed the initiative that faith-based organizations are to assume a greater role, in providing social-service programs, without breaching the separation of church and state.

An effective communicator of God’s Word, Pastor Dan is widely known for his practical and vibrant teaching style, which helps people apply the timeless truths of Scripture to their everyday lives.
