Hello, Dan Atwood here.
I’m a versatile writer, quick learner, and global communicator who delivers high-quality content, exceptional customer service, out-of-the-box ideas, and dependable, results-driven solutions.
Services Offered
Creative Copy
My unique background gives me an inimitable angle on life that people can’t help but relate to. I write across industries and genres and create fresh, concise, easy-to-read content for my audiences.
Multi-Cultural Mediation
Now, more than ever, people need help with linguistic and cultural barriers. I assist with translation, interpretation, language learning (including tutoring, writing, editing) and more in Bulgarian, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.
Search Engine Optimization
I love providing unique insights and recommendations that increase site visibility and close gaps in content strategy. My vast knowledge of SEO best practices helps me optimize for both crawlers and human eyes.
Loyal Leadership
I strive to look at the whole picture of business. When I’m not volunteering to head projects or divide and delegate work, I’m providing little “L” leadership that motivates coworkers and myself to give our best efforts.
Growth
Sometimes it’s hard to see where we’re at, but looking at our whole backstory can be helpful to gain clarity. I have summarized my accomplishments below, but if you are interested in the whole story, details and all, I’ve got the full scoop on my story page.
One particular way I’ve grown is becoming willing to learn about and use AI. I understand that it’s still a controversial technology at the moment, but you can see my specific views on AI on my ethics and values page.

Short- and Long-Term Goals
While I have officially finished my undergrad, I am dedicated to life-long learning.
In the short term, I will continue to add to my current knowledge of digital marketing, product management, data analytics, and more by taking additional courses at UVU.
In the long term, I will focus on maintenance and mastery of languages I already know and expand to other languages I don’t. Specifically, I want to learn Japanese, Russian, French, and German (I’ve started already on Japanese.
I also want to travel the world. My family and I are willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
