Dan Profile B&W

Dan Solo : Editor

In his 15+ years in education, Dan Solo (no known direct blood connection to Han), has taught photography to kids, snowboarding to the elderley, pathophysiology to paramedics, avalanche bombing to teenagers, first aid to frantic mums and everything in between.

He is an entrepreneur with almost annoying levels of enthusiasm and optimism. As an expert problem solver, ‘no’ is never an option.

He’s an obsessive geek, techno multi-tasker and early adopter. An iPhone-on-Day-1 guy. He loves his technolgy clean, functional, fun and preferably mind-blowing.

His visions are big. He’s travelled the world extensively and is passionate about improving educational access for all people, of all ages, in all countries. He prides himself on his rampant idealism.
