CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to satisfy my hunger for success.

ABOUT ME

My name is Daniel Land. I pretty much just decided I am done with school. I felt like my career was on stand by, too eager to wait around for the real world. My biggest dream is to be a stand-up comedian. I have lots of goals and aspirations though. Another big one is to have my own production company one day. Back in 6th grade my family's house got burnt down and we ended up moving around a lot after that. From then up until now we've moved 8 times I think. I've lived all over Ohio practically, a small stop in Alabama, and now a few places in Kentucky. Moving around so much I didn't have much time to make friends. That process did turn me into a very sociable person however. Sometimes I feel more comfortable when meeting new people for some odd reason. I'm going to be working at a summerstock theatre this summer. I plan to save up, and within a year move to Chicago to pursue my dreams!

PHILOSOPHY

It's very complex. I kind of take aspects of different religions/philosophies that I like and mesh them together I guess. I do believe in karma. If you want to have an intriguing conversation you should bring this up to me and we can discuss then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't think one has to be in school in order to be a student. We can learn from all things that happen to us in life, just as long as we are observant and aware of how our environment affects us and how we in turn affect it. I believe anyone is capable of anything. It just takes work and dedication. No one knows you better in this world than you do. So in the end you are the one who truly knows what's best for you.
