Danny Dyer grew up in the greater Sacramento area but traveled extensively as a child. A first-generation college student, he completed his undergraduate degrees at American River College and California State University before moving to Fairbanks, Alaska to earn an MA in Literature and an MFA in Poetry at the University of Alaska. In 2012, Danny began teaching as part of his grad school experience and has been teaching Composition, Literature, ESL, Creative Writing, and Religion since then, holding positions as an adjunct at American River College and Sierra College and a Lecturer at an American university in Zhejiang, China. Danny is currently a PhD student in UC Davis’s Religion department, where he studies attitudes about salvific pain in early modernity. In his spare time, he enjoys nature, cooking, films, music, old video games, and (especially) spending time with his wife and little boy, Benjamin.
