As Visit Franklin’s Creative Services Manager, Dane serves as our resident creative genius and branding cop. That green hue isn’t quite right in that section of the Visitor Guide? Font isn’t consistent with the brand guidelines? He’s headed your way with Illustrator and a whistle.

When he’s not in his creative laboratory (also known as his desk), you’ll find him checking out Franklin’s best restaurants, naming Wild Ginger as his favorite.

Prior to joining Visit Franklin, Dane worked as a creative media specialist at Southern Land Company, where he created graphic identities and promotional materials for their properties nationwide. He’s also worked in marketing and alumni relations at North Central University and Evangel University, overseeing a student marketing team and growing an alumni program.

The Evangel University graduate loves every 90’s song ever created, counting Third Eye Blind as his favorite band. He likes to spend his weekends reading, catching movies with his wife Chelsea, and chasing around their adorable son, Levi.
