Dan Harris of ABC News and Good Morning America is an anchor, reporter and author with a drum kit in his office, though after 35 years playing them, he says he still stinks. Teresa Strasser has five more things you didn't know about Dan Harris, from Dan Harris, himself!
1. He’s a Cat Guy
“I have three cats. I'm a major supporter of the ASPCA and I believe in animal adoption. I think for very little money you can save a life and vastly improve your own.” – Dan Harris
2. Huge Indie Rock Fan
“Sophomore year of high school, the goth kid in my homeroom gave me a mixed tape. On one side it was the Minute Men and on the second side was Sonic Youth, and it just changed my life. Even now, I'm approaching 45 and I'm always downloading new music. Even for a while, I hosted an indie rock show on the ABC New website called Amplified, which was terrible, so we ended it.” –Dan Harris
3. Kind of a Jerk Early On
“I spent much of my life on the obnoxious side. I think I was 26- years-old or something. My boss pulled me into his office and told me 'people don't like you,' and it was devastating for me. That was a big turning point where I tried to be nicer.” – Dan Harris
Now Dan credits marriage, maturation and meditation to his growth as a person.
4. He Meditates Two Hours Every Day
“Here's how I do it, I allow myself to do it in whatever intervals, of whatever length I want throughout the day, and so over the course of the day I try to build up to two hours.” –Dan Harris
5. Has a Son Named Alexander
“One more fun fact about me, I have a 17-month-old named Alexander." -Dan Harris
