Outbound Dan

 Dan Human is an avid backpacker, mountaineer, kayaker, canoeist, and snowshoer.  Though he has ventured upon many trips, his most memorable is his 2,160-mile hike of the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia.

Dan also just completed his Adirondack 46, by climbing the 46 highest peaks in the Adirondacks. Currently, Dan is working on climbing all 115 4,000-foot peaks in the Northeast.

Dan gives back to the outdoor community by serving on the Niagara Frontier Search and Rescue team as a “Crew Boss.” 

Dan utilizes the communication and analysis skills that he developed in pursuit of his bachelors’ degrees in anthropology and English education as well as his pursuit of a master’s degree in English literature.

Previously, Dan worked as a District Executive for the Boy Scouts of America, where he was responsible for managing the outdoor program facility in addition to his executive officer duties.  As an Eagle Scout, Dan still volunteers his time to Scouting by training leaders.
