ello, my name is Dan Swanson, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I’m 51, happily married to my wife, Darlene, for almost nine years (the second marriage for each of us.) We have two sons, Ben and Brett, from Darlene’s first marriage. We live in Clearwater, Florida, to be near the Flag Land Base, Scientology’s most advanced church. We love the warm climate and the beautiful western coast of Florida. And our 4th-floor condominium gives us a beautiful view of the Gulf, and Clearwater Beach.

     I’m a freelance computer artist working on Macintosh computers, in the office in our apartment. The Internet has made a big difference in my reach and contacts with my customers. It has opened up new lines of work such as website creation. And it has enabled me to do work and communicate over long distances.

     I’ve been a “Mac person” almost since Day One in 1984 because I love how Apple has and continues to make computers more enjoyable to use. Our most acquisition is the new Macintosh PowerBook G4 Titanium.

     I’ve been freelancing for fourteen years and very much enjoy the greater freedom it offers over being employed in a “real job.” My work exposes me to a lot of different experiences and even the occasional adventure.

     This year, we plan to start producing electronic interactive educational products which we will publish over the internet. They will be uniquely visual with very realistic images and animation.
