Meet the Dream Team
Danny Lungstrom
President / Executive Director
Danny founded Dream Experiences in 2025, serving as President and Board Chair. The organization is the realization of a personal goal: to provide underserved youth with the same impactful memories that helped shape his own life. Whether it was the excitement of seeing his favorite sports team play in person, the magic of a first concert, or the discovery of a tech hobby that became a career, Danny knows the power of a single positive experience. He’s dedicated to creating these moments for everyone, believing that hardships should never stand in the way of youth finding their inspiration or experiencing real joy.
Prior to founding Dream Experiences, Danny built a distinguished career in computer security, leading incident response efforts for major technology companies including Meta and CrowdStrike. Outside of his nonprofit work, he is an avid concert-goer, sports fan, pickleball player, cycling enthusiast, and lover of travel and the outdoors.
