He's the founder and president of Sensory Logic, Inc., which pioneered the use of facial coding to scientifically capture and quantify emotions in business beginning in 1998 and has in the years since done consulting work for over half of the world's top 100 business-to-consumer (B2C) oriented companies. Dan is the recipient of seven U.S. patents related to facial coding scoring systems and is also a certified Facial Action Coding System (FACS) practitioner.

Luminaries who have endorsed Dan's works run the gamut from Seth Godin, Dan Ariely, Daniel Pink, Faith Popcorn, Jeffrey Gitomer, Martin Lindstrom, Paco Underhill, Joe Pine, Faith Popcorn, and Marti Barletta, to Philip Kotler, who called Emotionomics "a revelation."
