Hey, my name is Dan Connor. I was born in New York and moved to
Minnesota when I was eight, although I'm still reluctant to call myself
a "Midwesterner" or a "Minnesotan". Until I was in high school I kinda
assumed I'd be a scientist or an inventor. Once I discovered music,
however, I realized that I could never be satisfied pursuing just one
of my passions. Like so many others I ignored that impulse for a while,
attending the University of Minnesota to varying (non)degrees of success. I dropped out and attended the Institute of Production and Recording
as their first student ever. After graduating from IPR I spent a couple
of years as an independent engineer and producer while also working in
music stores. After some time I began to crave a consistent paycheck
and took a couple of corporate jobs. I met my wife Sheryl, made some like-minded friends and started a company.
Now my time in cubicles is over and I'm venturing forth building
relationships with record labels and, one way or another, fully
embracing the creative lifestyle.

"If there is anything that the nonconformist hates more than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standards of nonconformity." - Bill Vaughan
"Amidst the downward tendency and proneness of things, when every voice is raised for a new road or another statute or a subscription of stock; for an improvement in dress, or in dentistry, for a new house or a larger business, for a political party, or the division of an estate; will you not tolerate one or two solitary voices in the land, speaking for thoughts and principles not marketable or perishable?" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
