My name is Dan Marvin. I'm a creative director/writer who loves what I do. Not many people can say that about their career, and I don't take that for granted. Sometimes my job feels more like a hobby that I take really seriously, and I love that.
After graduating from Michigan State, my wife and I moved to North Carolina for five years, then Chicago for two. We then moved back to Michigan for eight years, then Austin, TX, for a year. And then back to Michigan once more. Somewhere along the way we had two amazing kids.
I'm best summed up as a sports fan and a family man. But not in that order, unless it happens to be March. Besides spending time with my family, I play a lot of basketball and write children's books. (Here's one and here's another.) My author website is danmarvin.com.
I have a useless talent where I can tell you instantly how many letters are in any word. ("Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is 34 letters, smart-ass.) I have to be able to spell the word, but I won my 5th grade spelling bee (true story), so, you know, I wasn't very popular in 5th grade.
