The images in the Phoetry series combine traditional poetry or haiku with photography. Some of these images came from collaboration with the poet, Dr. Catherine Sweeney Burton. Their joint books, "Emerge" and "Plane of Life", are available from Blurb. Dan's solo phoetry work is found in the books, "Tribute" and "Here There Be Dragons" which are also available on Blurb, Amazon and Apple iBooks.

Dan recently retired as the Chief Workforce Economist for the MITRE Corporation. He is the senior editor of AMACOM's 2013 collection on strategic workforce planning, "POSITIONED" as well as the HRPS 1995 book, "Best Practices in HR Forecasting and Modeling."
