As of this recording, he is celebrating nine years of freedom from chemical dependency. He is now serving at one of the Recovery Centers of America, dedicating his life to showing he cares by serving others to help them overcome a similar dependency. Dan describes himself as a new man because of his freedom and relationship with God.
