He continues to teach for SESI, where he has developed a series of classes, and some of them are incorporated into the curriculum of Santa Monica College's special effects program.
Music is a passion for Dan. As sinusoidal waves of sound percolate through his mind, he is inspired by music. Classical musicians such as Claude Debussy and Tchaikovsky are not only important for Dan, but they also encourage him to write music of his own. He plays guitar,piano, and trumpet, while also composing jazz and electronic music occasionally. You can check out Music composed by Dan Lynch. Once Dan somehow ended upon stage at the Grammy Awards.
Dan finds rejuvenation in physical and mental activities. Dan has flown a plane over Niagra Falls, likes photography, and was president of The SMC Math Club. He works out everyday; skateboarding, biking, swimming,waterskiing, barefooting, anything where he has to push himself to the limits.
Dan is attending UC Berkeley on an academic scholarship majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
