Dan Blanchard the Award Winning Author, Speaker, Educator two-time Junior Olympian Wrestler, and two-time Junior Olympian Wrestling Coach grew up as a student-athlete. However, Dan admits that as a youth he was more of an athlete than a student.  Dan has now successfully completed fourteen years of college and has earned seven degrees. He teaches Special Education in Connecticut’s largest inner-city high school where he was chosen by the AFT-CT as the face and voice of educational reform. In addition, Dan is a Teacher Consultant for the University of Connecticut’s Writing Project. Finally, Dan is a double veteran of the Army and the Air Force.

Because Dan’s students repeatedly asked him to write a book  to tell others what he tells them,  Dan finally listened and has now authored the Granddaddy’s Secrets teen leadership book series.  His first book Feeling Lucky? is available at Amazon. Dan is currently writing a second edition for his second book, Feeling Good. His third book of the Granddaddy’s Secrets series, Feeling Strong! will be out next year.
