My name is Dan Salinas. I am a DTC major with a background in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, Art Education, and Human Resources. After a few years working with directly with the Developmentally Disabled, and also in administrative roles, I decided it was time to seek out more creative career options. I like to paint and sculpt, and also enjoy working on building custom furniture projects and learning new tech. Having grown up in the 80's, I find it difficult to sit still and concentrate when I'd much rather be outside making a huge mess of things. I seem to be the only one in my family who enjoys firing up a chainsaw or digging in the mud, but it is quite comforting to know that they are willing to tolerate my less admirable qualities. I have a 2 daughters (20 and 10), and a 15 year old son whom I affectionately call the baby sasquatch. I look forward to sharing my adventures in school with them, whether they like it or not. My wife is awesome, and she likes me sometimes. My dog is the only one who really gets me. Maybe we're just too similar.
