Throughout his personal life and professional career, Dan Holin has been busy creating bridges and collaborations between countries, neighboring cities and even his own neighbors. Working in the international arena, Dan helped promote understanding between Israel and the international community through cultural collaborations and agreements in the area of music, film, and industrial design. Feeling the need to better connect with his own neighbors, Dan started up a community bicycling club — now one of the biggest in the Northeast — chaired a community task force, and coordinated a garden work and tools cooperative.

From 2003 until 2015, Dan led the creation and growth of The Jericho Road Project, a skills-based, volunteer-powered community development organization, with six sites in Massachusetts, Texas, and California. From 2015 to 2018 Dan was the Special Projects Director at UTEC, Inc, a youth serving organization in Lowell, MA, where he launched a new mentoring and transportation programs, and a training and employment collaboration with Whole Foods Market. In 2019 Dan launched Second Chance Cars, Inc., an innovative social enterprise that provides affordable cars to low income people so they can get to work–gently used car donations are appreciated! Dan has two grown kids, resides in Concord, MA with his wife and is an avid cyclist, dog owner and outdoors person.
