Associate Pastor Resident
Dan is originally from South Jersey before he attended Penn State, earning a marketing degree. During his time as a student and while serving in campus ministry Dan felt called to help people follow Jesus for a lifetime in the local church. So in 2015 Dan moved back to the Philadelphia area where he joined Citylight Center City and completed his Master of Divinity degree at Cairn University. Dan and his wife Allison live in Upper Darby. In their free time they enjoy being down the shore while Dan always finds time to avidly follow Philadelphia and Penn State sports.
