Training & Certifications

“Most people run in the opposite direction of conflict, Dan does not.  He has taught us to prayerfully, and in a Godly manner, deal with issues with one another.  I have never met anyone so relationally gifted.  I have grown more spiritually and relationally in my year of working with Dan than in most of my adult life as a believer. ”
