Dan & Sky
Dan Hendey CPRP, CPSI, is PRPS's Education Manager and a certified teacher with over 20 years of experience. In addition to being an educator, Dan has worked extensively for recreation and non-profit organizations in conservation, management, and program planning. “My first job was in the kitchen of a 500-bed nursing home. This beginning and many experiences with aging, assisted living, and Alzheimer’s Disease have helped me to truly appreciate the work Recreation Therapists do every day to make life more fulfilling for their clients.”
