Danny is a filmmaker, cinematographer, musician, and Air Force Veteran whose remarkable career has spanned more than four decades. Growing up in a military family and traveling the world from a young age, Danny developed a passion for storytelling through photography, music, and film. His experiences in the U.S. Air Force, including helping document the historic evacuation of Saigon in 1975, profoundly shaped his creative vision and lifelong dedication to capturing authentic human stories.
Danny has since built an extraordinary career in television, film, and music, earning four Telly Awards, including one for WWIA's short film, Honor, Connect, Heal. He has contributed to more than 300 episodes of unscripted television and documentaries for major networks. From the Arctic Circle to Cape Horn, his adventures and work have taken him around the globe, always driven by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to excellence.
Danny resides in the North Georgia Mountains with his wife Suzan, also an accomplished still photographer. They have a daughter who is a successful writer and shares in the family's creative gene-pool, a Firefighter son-in-law and two grandchildren.

The friendships and camaraderie our combat-wounded Purple Heart Heroes experience during a WWIA event last long after their time in the field, on the water, and around the dinner table has ended. These bonds can last a lifetime and help bring much-needed healing and support to our Heroes. #WWIA #TestimonialTuesday
