Dan accomplishes this through speaking engagements, his management books, novels, coaching, and consulting. The foundation for his success is found in teaching organizations and people about effective communication. He has 30+ years of experience in business working at the executive level in Operations and HR with and for companies as large as Fortune 50 and as small as 15 employees.
He’s seen it all and fixed most of it. He has a somewhat unique combination of sales, operations, HR, and regulatory experience, with a focus on organizational operations—those inter- and intra-departmental, customer, employee, and vendor processes that easily get gummed up and act as a drain on profitability without management even knowing, since it just appears as “business as usual.”

He’s published the futuristic detective novel Trackers that involves a global conspiracy in which a cabal has implanted cell-sized tracking devices in everyone on earth without their knowledge. Consequently, the cabal knows where anyone is at any time. They control everything, taking out political enemies at their discretion. A bicycle-riding detective uncovers the scheme in the course of a missing-person investigation and is dragged into a web of intrigue by an underground resistance determined to destroy the cabal. https://www.amazon.com/Trackers-Dan-P...
He's currently working on his next novel The Realm of Squatch about the life of a sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest who interacts with a late-teens boy accused of murder who is hiding from the law in the Olympic National Park. The sasquatch gets captured in the process and the boy works to free her. Look for publication sometime 2Q23.
Purkey is also the author of Uncommon Sense Management, a management book that helps managers turn theory into practice to drive smoother and better results. https://www.amazon.com/Uncommon-Sense...
His latest book, It’s Not That Hard. Just Do This. is a #1 Amazon Best Seller and highlights specific, foundational effective communication tools anyone can use to eliminate miscommunication, misunderstandings, arguments, and stress from people’s lives. When applied in a business, it creates improved employee engagement, retention, productivity, and profitability. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCNXL6NQ?...
Dan’s been married over 40 years to his wife Terrie (who runs a fabulous book blogging site called Bookshelf Journeys https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/).

Set in the PNW, this creative story puts a whole new spin on Sasquatch lore. Book 2 in a series, it is equally as readable and inventive as the first story. Eo, a female teenage Sasquatch, is a great main character and the way the author depicts her is makes her believable (if you believe in squatches!). In this story Eo becomes ill and her clan can't help her so they have to go against their hundreds of years of experience and turn to a human for help. The friendship (introduced in book 1) between a young man and Eo is touching and the cornerstone of the story.
I particularly like the way the author envisions the lifestyle of squatches - often they are portrayed as killers but he creates caring, peaceful, creatures that live their lives following the laws of nature by healing injured animals and caring for the environment in which they live.
This series is perfect for readers wanting to immerse themselves in the fantasy world of squatches, and for those enjoying an adventure read with a twist of moral/societal messaging. Several of the main characters are teenages or young adults which might engage young adult readers.
