FAMILY BACKGROUND:
Daniel was born in modest surroundings in the beautiful Columbia River
Gorge (sometimes called America's Fjord) in 1951--the 4th child of 2
older sisters and 1 brother.
NICKNAMES-WEB HANDLES:
Dr.Dan, Son of Valiant, Son of Lionhearted (Sire or H.M. do well, too!)
EDUCATION AND DEGREES:
From an early age, God gifted Daniel with intellectual skills and he
has a long list of academic achievements. Moreover, God provided him
some of the best colleges in the Land, including Central Washington
University, University of Washington, and University of Chicago.
During these studies he obtained a BA in Family Studies, a BA.Ed. in
Social Science Education, a MA.Ed in Educational Media (A/V
Technologies), and the credit equivalent to a Ph.D!

Valiant, and since then he has always had an interest in things
Scandinavian. (His ex-wife was a Scandinavian major in college.)
In his later years, working in and out of the various Lutheran
Churches (and with Lutheran Charismatic Renewal), he got use to
ministering to Nordics. And, much of the Organization of the NORDESEL
and the Viking Revival is due to that experience.
VIKING BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS:
From an early age, Daniel has been very gifted and creative--and has
written quite extensively (the Articles of this Web Site being a very
good example). In addition, for the NORDESEL, he has written some
specific novels, to enhance that Viking Culture:
RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES:
In earlier years, his parents had gone to church, but by the time that
he came around, they were out of the church going mode. Thus, being
raised rather secularly, the Great Thinkers and World Philosophers
were his early mentors. Then...
