Missives from Dane
After six continents, 50 U.S. states, and over 100 countries and counting - I finally decided to start writing about the amazing people, crazy adventures, and unbelievable opportunities that have filled my life. Missives from Dane is a series of insights, ramblings, and hopefully occasionally inspiring thoughts from my life - on issues that are personal, professional, and just simply strange. I hope you enjoy them (or hopefully at least one of them).

Now is the time for every American to stand resolutely with Taiwan and the Philippines.
