The Secret Sockciety

Meet Daniel Ringenberg, or simply Dan, a daydreamer originally from just south of Chicago, who now resides in the sunshine of Southern California. From the moment he first touched a pencil, Dan's life has been a whirlwind of cartoons and colors.

This journey whisked him from graphic design classes in college to a dynamic role in sales and marketing at a global energy company. Despite this professional path, Dan's heart has always been anchored in storytelling and infusing life into the inanimate, inspired by the magic of Disney movies like 'Toy Story'.

Now, Dan is fulfilling a childhood dream: crafting his own children's book! He invites you into a wacky, whimsical world where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Join him on this fun-filled journey of imagination and laughter as he turns the page into a new creative chapter.

Mick Kassis is a sales manager from Huntington Beach, CA, but his passion has always been for writing and creativity. With multiple creative writing credits from Penn State University, Mick moved to California to pursue outdoor adventure and explore his creative outlets. He has created several characters and stories throughout the years, but no story has captivated him as much as 'The Secret Sockciety.'

He has a two and a three-year-old niece and nephew whom he loves telling stories to, and they inspire him to bring new stories to life that so they can be enjoyed by as many people as possible.

When he's not writing, Mick is creating and playing music, taking photos and videos of America's wild outdoor landscapes, and chasing waves, hikes, or climbs, and whatever next adventure awaits.
