He's had pieces published on humorwriters.org, won 2nd place in the 2014 Mona Schreiber Prize for Humorous Fiction and Nonfiction, was a semi-finalist in the 2014 humorpress.com writing contest, and was mentioned honorably in the 2014 Soul-Making Keats Literary Competition for Humor. He’s a Midwest guy, having spent time in Michigan and Kentucky, but mostly Iowa, where he now lives. He started writing during college, where he enjoyed getting red lines drawn through his Creative Writing projects, and where he also penned a weekly column in the school paper under the pseudonym “Fletcher Ford”. He’s currently working on his Survival Guide for Men series, which will include books on Home Improvement and Sports. You can catch his weekly humor column, the "Dubious Knowledge Institute," at his author site, danvanoss.com. He also plays piano, Hammond organ and anything else with keys; you can check out some of his recordings at Reverbnation.view less
