Dan Brantley
A unique combination of business skills and improvisational comedy experience. Dan is quite the hyphenate, a speaker-writer-director-coach-blogger-consultant-raconteur-bon vivant and-man-about town. He is, quite possibly, the greatest value in speaking today. Often irreverent, never inappropriate, he will challenge your groups expectations and leave them wanting more.
10 years with SW premier improvisation comedy troupe
14 years as motivational speaker
9 years VP sales US largest parking lot sweeping company. Growing that company by 150% during his tenure.
Obviously, Dan subscribes to the seat-of-the-pants school of career planning.
He is married to a gorgeous women and is the father of three brilliant sons, at least two of which are orchestral caliber string players, evidently a generation skipping talent since Dan can only sing with the radio on, loud.
He lives in University Park, a Dallas, Texas area community, where his seeming lack of regular employment blends in well with the trust fund babies and well to do investors of the city.
He was born in Virginia and although his parents are both native Texans, he cannot make that claim.He graduated from the University of North Texas, with a "matress" degree in Education. (Something to fall back on.)
Is now, or at some point was...
a licensed real estate agent, a certified mediator, an improvisational actor and comedian, a door to door encyclopedia salesperson, an Eagle Scout, a Scoutmaster, a professional Boy Scout, a corporate recruiter, a professional speaker, a seminar and workshop leader, a writer, stay at home Dad, video producer, a paperboy, a tomato picker, a car salesman, and a package truck loader for UPS. He has sold TIme/Life books by phone and briefly sold insurance, but he has never been a waiter, never been to Graceland and has never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
As a Speaker/Seminar/Leader/Trainer he has made presentations to, SBC, SBC Yellow Pages, Lomas Financial, MCI, Verizon, Colortyme, Southwestern Association of Ad Agencies, First International Bankshares, Greater Dallas MLS, American Heart Association, The Coffee Beanery, and a bunch of others even less well known, or out of business, that fill a page or more, single spaced, really, I mean it.
He travels often and would retire to a cruise ship if possible. At this point since his retirement planning includes a lot of lottery tickets, that looks unlikely.
Dan is one of those rare individuals who can be a success at absolutely anything he tries, and his restlessness and low boredom threshold have enabled him to test this ability often.
He collects strange covers of popular songs and has in his collection bluegrass versions of The Beatles, African acapella versions of Jimi Hendrix, reggae versions of Pink Floyd, and too many pop tunes in different languages to count.
His programs are an interactive mix of humor and insight that lead a group to destination of their choosing. A journey, if you will, enjoy the ride.
