about dan

I am an architect living in and exploring Chicago every chance I get. I take one trip each year to explore the world and see a new place. I have met many great people along the way and have seen some incredible things. This world is so big and I look forward to each new year with new experiences. By the end of 2015, the year I turned 30, I'll have visited 30 countries on 5 countries - I'm coming for you Australia! 

I was born in Timisoara, Romania and immigrated to the United States with my family in 1990. I grew up in the Portland area and moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington - Go Huskies! In 2008, I moved to Chicago for graduate school at the Illinois Institute of Technology where I graduated with a Dual Masters in Architecture and Integrated Building Delivery. After nearly a decade in Chicago, I look forward to the day I can call the Pacific Northwest home again!
