Dan  Foss - Producer/Reality TV Director

​

Born in Western New York state, Dan eventually relocated to the Hudson Valley region where he studied filmmaking but did not complete his degree. He instead began a career in agriculture, running his own dairy farm for several years until a serious back injury forced him to take a more passive role in his business. During the economic recession that followed his injury, he was forced to sell his farm.

 

Once he recovered, Dan decided to go back to school to finish his degree and in the process rediscovered his love of storytelling. In 2017, after earning his Associate’s in Communications & Media Arts and a year of working commercially, he founded DJamesFoss Media, a small production company based in the Hudson Valley that deals in both client-based services as well as Foss’ own creative endeavors.
