Dan’s dog, Brewster!
Dan is a 2005 graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts degree in broadcast journalism. His hometown is Chicago, but Dan calls the Twin Ports home.
Dan is frequently tapped to emcee some of the Northland’s biggest charitable events like the annual Fur Ball for Animal Allies Humane Society. He’s also been a big supporter of the Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics Minnesota, raising more than $14,000 since 2012.
And if you don’t already know, the unofficial mascot of FOX 21 is his dog, Brewster, a 14-year-old miniature boxer-mix that was rescued from a shelter in Hibbing at six months old.
