DAN PEREZ

I do a lot of stuff. Jack of all trades and pretty good at some, you might say. This is my personal page wherein I share different things that define me. It's also a place for me to store some things I might need, like my list of karaoke songs, and you can take a peek at those too, if you've a mind to.

A quick bio: I live and work in Houston Texas and have two dogs, Rocky and Thor. I enjoy doing all the stuff listed in the header, but I am also fond of riding my bike, hanging out in Galveston, Texas (my home away from home), playing board games, spending time with friends and watching Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I am a full-time professional hypnotist. My office is here in Houston and I help people lead happier, healthier and more productive lives. Hypnosis is a great way to improve yourself and ged rid of bad habits. Want to learn more? Then just ckick on the Hypnosis button on the menu at left.

In my spare time I love to sculpt. I mostly sculpt monsters and creatures from the movies, but lately I have been doing more original pieces, and several of my sculptures have been featured in various curated art shows in Houston.

For several years I have hosted the Saturday Sculpt, a once-a-month, iinformal public sculpting demonstration open to other artists, kids and anyone else who would like to participate. My sculptor friend Brian Ford is a regular fixture at these, wowing people with his sculptures as well. Want to learn more about my sculpting? Just click on the Sculpting button the menu at left. I also have a website and an Instagram devoted to my sculpting.

I have been a writer and editor most of my adult life. I've written nonfiction for local, regional and national publications. I was the editor for the Sci Fi Channel Magazine for a year, and I've written numerous nationally published short stories, as well as three unpublished novels.

I am currently at work on my first nonfiction book, but the only thing I can tell you about it at the moment is that is for hypnotists.

I alos served as a head writer for a locally produced comedy/horror television show for three years. With my co-writers I produced 13 scripts. Unfortunately the show ceased production after the first episode. I did some sculptures and props for the show as well.

I have also performed in a number of theatrical shows, with most of them being hypnosis shows here in Houston. I did voice acting for a character in the abovementioned TV show as well.
