The Passions Behind the People
Each month we will be sharing the passions behind the people in the DMC Network...
This month the spotlight is on Dan Tavrytzky, Managing Director of the DMC Network.
The memory...
The birth of our two sons…Jacob and Brayden. While they are now both young men (24 and 21), it seems like just yesterday we were bringing them home from the hospital…how time flies!
The time of day...
In the morning when the sun has just risen and it’s quiet and still and just the chirp of the birds are noticed.
The activity…
I love being outdoors…hiking, biking, skiing, or on the tennis court or golf course, it’s a true joy and make me feel alive!
The smell…
Driving 2-hours north to the mountains of Arizona and opening the car window and getting that first whiff of pine trees…glorious!
The alternate job…
I would own and work a community farm/spa that produces fresh food for the less fortunate and creates a working/exercise environment for people to participate and benefit from the physical and giving aspects.
The feeling…
Making someone happy that’s recognized thru their laughter or smile
The accessory…
My DMC Network Vest…it’s an inside joke at the DMC Network, but they all know how I love my vests and proud to showcase our brand!
The snack…
I love the Costco fancy mixed nuts with chex mix added.
The place...
Just two hours north of the desert in Phoenix, our cabin in the mountains of Northern Arizona which is at 7,200 feet and surrounded by the world’s largest stand of ponderosa pine trees.
The quote…
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." -Robert Louis Stevenson
The hobby…
I’m a closet DIYer…fun fixing and remodelling items around our home and cabin in the woods. I admit that sometimes it can take me twice as long as hiring professionals, but I enjoy the challenge, learning and sense of accomplishment when the project is done.
The friends…
Kerry - my college sweetheart and wife of 27 years (dated for 6 years prior). My other friend worth mentioning is Jon – my Delta Chi Fraternity brother and college roommate for 4 years… although we live across the country from one another, we still talk every week and reminisce about the old and strategize the new days.
The colour…
Blue… like the sky and ocean
The vice…
Big popcorn and large coca-cola at the movies…throw in some Swedish Fish candy and I’m a happy kid!
The virtue…
The love of my girls…our Labrador Retrievers…Riley and Tinsley! They are my daily office companions and always smiling and wagging their tales. While Riley is too old to hike anymore (15 ½), Tinsley (3) is always ready for an adventure and keeps me active and laughing.
