First Post, About Daniel

About Me 

Ok then, let's start things off with an About page:

I'm Daniel Dunn, resident of Breckenridge, CO for 22 years. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, I moved to Colorado after college for skiing and mountain biking, and perhaps to get away from some habits that really were leading me down a path of destruction. More on that at a much later date. 

What I Like

I love to ski. I love to mountain bike. I love to read. I love music. I love trail running. I love camping. I love beer, wine and coffee. I love going on road trips. I love hunting. I love my family and friends, and I love to be outside. That describes me at a quick glimpse, but I'm certainly much more complicated than that. 

I'm a lover with a quick temper, although I have lived and learned over the years to really cool down that hot engine that burns inside me, which sometimes boils over. I have a great deal of patience, I think in part from many years of working in the food and beverage business (primarily serving, with quite a bit of bartending, but also nice stints in the kitchen)(many people wonder why I don't open a restaurant). 

I have many passions, for many things. I think I've been searching for a very long time how to combine all those passions into doing the one thing that will make me happy beyond belief. What I've found is this: at least for me, there is no "one thing" to do that will complete me. I'm happiest when I'm doing many things. Sometimes those things make me gobs of money, and sometimes I struggle financially. I've also learned that I really enjoy helping people, and get huge satisfaction when I see them win or achieve whatever it is that they're looking to do. 

My Story

So there, the story of Daniel. You can call me Daniel, or Dan, or even Dunner. Danny was reserved for my Grandma, and she rarely used it. I'm anxious to get back into traveling to foreign countries, of which I've done a bunch of, but not in a few years. I need to ski, eat different foods, drink different beers, and see different things. The combination of growing up reading books set in faraway places and my own personal travels, plus just growing older with hard lessons teaching their wisdom, have made me constantly looking for the next cool thing to do. Give me some outdoor activity, some travel, some yummy food and wine, and chances are you'll see a smiling Dan, anxious to relive the stories. 

Follow along and I'll give you some stories here.
