He has been a professional writer since 1984, including work for the Detroit News, Macomb Daily, DBusiness and a variety of trucking/supply chain/logistics publications. Today, in addition to writing about the Tigers, Dan and his family own and operate North Star Marketing Content, which provides contract writing services to corporate clients, magazines and advertising/PR agencies throughout the country.
