Dan Koglin grew up in the beautiful, great state of New Mexico where I hiked, camped, climbed mountains and explored Native American sites throughout the Southwest with my hippy aunt and uncles.  Straight out of the University of New Mexico, I begin working for the Dept. of Defense.  After numerous posts in Texas, Louisiana, Kansas and Oklahoma, I was transferred to Mainz, Germany where my wife Cheri and I were blessed to have the opportunity to live and raise our newborn daughter Sarah for 6 years.  Living in Germany, I had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East while supporting the men and women of our armed forces.  We now live in Midlothian where I retired after a career of 33 years. Midlothian is now the “base of operations” for extensive hiking and exploration expeditions throughout North & Central Texas.  When I’m not out hiking and taking pictures, I spend a lot of time volunteering my time with the Midlothian Panther Regiment to support the band and my Senior Daughter’s Color Guard unit.  Besides Wild DFW, you can see my work at
