Dan Duffy has been telling stories for over 20 years following an award-winning radio career with the nationally syndicated radio show Steve & DC. He transitioned from audio to visual arts and graduated from the Vancouver Film School. Before moving to Los Angeles, he returned to his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, to sharpen his skills.
However, fate, a woman, and a cancer diagnosis changed everything. Four months before moving to the West Coast, he met Stephanie, the woman he would marry. Four months after that, Dan received a diagnosis of Stage 3 testicular cancer, and then six months later, Dan was cancer-free.
Now, 22 years later, Dan is still telling stories through his video production company, Dan Duffy Productions. He works closely with the American Cancer Society and other nonprofits to help raise awareness about cancer. You can also find Dan on Facebook and LinkedIn or read The Half Book, his story of testicular cancer and life before, during, and after the diagnosis.
Listen to this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation, where Dan Duffy shares how his healthcare crisis led him to help others who face a cancer diagnosis.
