Today Dan is an accomplished producer, pianist and composer, having performed both solo and with bands in the Boston, Albuquerque and Baltimore/Washington areas. His music has been featured in various media, from album compilations to TV and web/terrestrial radio stations.

In 2010, Dan created Made of Wood, a chillout funk project. The music is created using a range of acoustic and electronic, live and sampled sounds. Many of the sampled sounds come from alterations of his own performances.

The inspirations for the sounds are wide-ranging: from Thievery Corporation and Massive Attack, to the Meters, Parliament Funkadelic, Radiohead and Air. Dan also draws from his classical background and classic film composers, such as Lalo Schifrin.

In Feb 2012, Dan released The Chill/Funk Trip. The album has led to Made of Wood being a "Top 10 Emerging Artist," (jango.com) and the album has received glowing reviews. Currently he is working on "Narcotherapy Hypnosis," an album that fuses the styles of the 60's and 70's with trippy old-school synth sounds and modern percussion.

Dan currently lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
