Since his early childhood, Dan developed an avid passion for cars and, now he sees himself as a genuine petrolhead. His enthusiasm comes from his father, an automotive engineer. They love to reminisce about the days when his dad showed him the inner workings of an engine and why everything does what it does.

He remembers watching all the famous TV shows in his childhood, playing racing games, or devouring documentaries. Dan seriously hates today's television programs but manages to remain up-to-date on everything automotive-related from Youtube or by reading articles.

Nowadays, Dan works in the medical field. After countless late-night hour study sessions, many sacrifices, and passing through maybe hundreds of tests and exams, he now is a resident doctor trying to get on the right path in this vast and overwhelming domain. After all, repairing engines may not be that different from making patients feel better and we can all agree that humans are the most complex and fascinating machines.

Dan loves to express himself in writing. When he feels motivated and reaches a state of flow, he becomes one with the keyboard. Hours fly while words come by with great satisfaction. He loves the creative process and gets a high when everything comes together perfectly.

Being a member of autoevolution enables Dan to pursue his love for automobiles, his burning desire to write and be creative, also detaching him from everyday struggles. He is thrilled to be part of the team and hopes to be the source of many intriguing topics.
