Author portrait with wife

Dane has a family, house, job, church calling, and a deep love of the scriptures. He wrote this book not because it was a natural outgrowth of his professional credentials, but because he needed to study the topic for his own benefit. As he deliberately studied happiness from the Book of Mormon, he learned things that were too good to not share with others, and so The Humble Seeker of Happiness was born. He intentionally chose the title, not only because it hints at a prominent theme, but because it succinctly summarizes his own faith journey.

​

Dane holds a master’s degree in civil engineering from Utah State University and works full time as an airport engineering consultant. Originally from Blanding, Utah, he now seeks happiness with his wife, Danielle, and their three children in Utah’s beautiful Cache Valley.
