Dan Lewis (original) (raw)

Hi. I’m Dan. I’m a dad. And a husband.

And a Mets fan.

I have an email newsletter with more than 100,000 subscribers. It’s about trivia. Pee-Wee Herman once tweeted about it.

In 2013, I wrote a book.

My forehead is in a YouTube video with more than 20 million views.

I once had a startup, but I sold it to the founder of Wikipedia. I didn’t make nearly as much money as the press reported.

I’ve made important public statements concerning Big Bird’s bedtime.

I’ve read all of the Harry Potter books at least twice.

I can vibrate my eyes.

I’ve never eaten bacon.

I’ve fed cookies to Cookie Monster. I am now the proud owner of a fragment of the remainder of one of those cookies.

I once started a petition which ended up with more than 150,000 signatures.

I’m a recovering lawyer.

In 2014, I wrote another book.

I created a legal argument that went to the Supreme Court (and the Court rejected).

I ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to create a YouTube channel (yay!) but the YouTube channel wasn’t so successful (boo!).

I went to Tufts. And Cardozo.

I’ve been the New York Mets Designated Driver of the Game four times.

I’ve won a Clio, two Webbys, and a Shorty Award.

In 2019, I wrote another book.

I’ve raised more than $25,000 for non-profits like charity: water, Kiva, and ProLiteracy.

I am the Connecticut State Magic the Gathering Champion (1997) in both Limited and Standard formats. I am somewhat embarrassed by this.

Nice to meet you.

Say hi.
