Growing up in Australia, Dan has always had a passion for cooking and all things outdoors. With a Masters in Exercise Science, Dan established himself as a sought-after Health Coach and had already published his first cookbook before being selected from 20,000 applicants as a contestant on Australia’s hit show MasterChef.

Reflecting his background in the fitness industry, Dan’s focus is fresh, fresh, fresh. He is driven to promote good eating as the foundation for a healthy lifestyle and incorporates many gluten free and vegan-friendly recipes in his cookbooks and videos.

Dan is all about friends and family. His mission is simple: To use food as a tool to bring people together and enrich their daily lives.

Skilled in front of and behind the camera, Dan has hosted the popular docu-series Surfing the Menu and self-produced his own series Feast with Friends. Dan’s cookbooks DudeFood, The Healthy Cook and Surfing the Menu have sold around the world.
