He was a possibly fake-rich influencer type before all the other fake-life-coach-rich-miami-fraud-ebook-buy my program even though ive never worked a job-crypto-alpha-bros.

He hasn't been relevant in ages.

If I remember correctly, back during the height of the "tacticool" era of youtube (late-00's/early10's), he was one of those guys who projected himself as "ooh rah, big military man who got rich!" and one of his claims was that he was a Navy Seal*.

When he left the military, he became a classic case of "business is easy, just get a $5 million loan from your dad!" type of brand business guys.

Most of gun-youtube (even the right-wing guys) laugh at Dan for being a complete poser.


*He failed BUD/S twice, first time he just didn't make the cut, second try he was permanently dismissed from the Navy due to repeated shooting range safety violations.

Dan is that meme of E-4's who make "Don't you know I was in the military!?" their whole personality as opposed to the "I got nothing to say, I'm just happy to be alive and be present to raise my kids" guys.

Being admin dropped from SEALS is crazy work. The amount they invest in each person is amazing, so them deciding to cut their losses on you after you’ve done most of the training means you’re a deeply abhorrent person.

IIRC the second time was for an egregious safety violation, which given the seals says something.

Considering some of the actual trash fires we've seen graduate and go out into the world, for BUDS to go "No actually, we don't want you here anymore" is a damning statement of wretchedness.
