Since graduating Brown University in 1982 and Stanford Business School in 1988, Dan has been in the private equity business, founding Main Street Resources in 1998. These years of running private equity funds and transactions has given Dan a strong foundation in analyzing, sponsoring and executing complex human-scale opportunities. Over the last
five years Dan has evolved his firm and personal interests into a platform for creative entrepreneurial philanthropy and impact investment, working closely as a venture partner with many businesses, investors, nonprofits and socially responsible businesses in transition and development, including Green Village Initiative (co-founder/chair), The Schumacher Center for New Economics (chair), The Center for Non-Profit Excellence (recent past chair), Social Enterprise Greenhouse (board member) and many others. Dan believes enlightening our political-economic system is the key to addressing our core social, economic and environmental challenges - and that the best way to achieve this is through experimenting and modeling local/tangible impact enterprises and projects. Dan is an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship and social enterprise at RISD and Brown and a regular speaker/facilitator of conversations and conferences on the subjects of new economy and impact investing. For his efforts Dan has received the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Distinguished Citizen Award, the AFP 2014 Outstanding Philanthropist award and many others.
