About Me
Hi, my name is Dane Brown. I am a native of Valparaiso, Indiana. I previously worked as a teacher for ten years, two years at the School Town of Highland, and eight years for Valparaiso Community Schools. I also worked for five years at Dark Enterprises as a site team evaluator and worked on data analysis for the GenCyber program through NSA/NSF. I was selected to be one of fifty teachers in the inaugural cohort for the Indiana Department of Education’s Teacher Leaders Bootcamp in 2019/20 and one of ten mentors for the program in 2020/21. I served on the board at the Valparaiso Country Club from 2015-2019. Being from Valparaiso, I know the community and surrounding communities well. I was drawn to education because I have always had a passion for helping others. I also have a passion for this area; I feel being a realtor will allow me to combine both of my passions for helping others and this community. After getting married, I knew I wanted to move back to the area and raise my family here. I currently reside on the northeast side of Valparaiso with my wife June, and our two children.
