Dan sits down with green entrepreneur and activist, Danny Korman
Danny recently took a position at United Way of Central New Mexico. He
previously provided mental health services and housing support to
clients of a regional mental health nonprofit in Colorado. Danny
started his career working in a series of positions in multiple
nonprofit settings focused primarily on community organizing,
specifically in the area of historic commercial district
revitalization. He eventually found himself working for a government
agency focused on economic resourcefulness and tourism. He returned to
his hometown of Cincinnati to establish and self-finance its first
green general store, where he managed day-to-day operations while
being the face of the business. During this time, he began a career in
freelancing as a published author and communications consultant, which
continues to do this day. After he closed Park + Vine, he coordinated
social media marketing and events for a regional trails nonprofit
organization. Prior to all of this, Danny received a Bachelor of Arts
in Urban Planning from the University of Cincinnati.
Danny is a city explorer, nature lover, believer in local economies,
and steward for the environment and animals. He likes to prioritize
his activities primarily within walking or biking distance. An avid
fan of all four seasons—including the often misunderstood winter—he
has an interest in year-round outdoor adventures in places both near
and far. He is an occasional speaker on topics ranging from small
business basics and neighborhood life to the outdoors.
Danny Korman is an accomplished and engaging person adept at working
with people and projects in a humanitarian manner. Born and raised in
Cincinnati, Danny is a bit of a boomerang kid. He has lived in seven
states (Ohio, California, Kentucky, New York, Illinois, Colorado, New
Mexico) to date. He is currently living in an old house in Albuquerque
