About Aaron Dante

Owner of No Pix After Dark

Podcast Host, Event Emcee, Father, and Entrepreneur.

I started this podcast in 2019 to share human interest stories that the mainstream media wasn’t covering and that everyday people could relate to. I have been able to capture many inspiring stories in a short period, and I’m always looking to teach and inspire others – pointing out that we actually aren’t that different from one another. I wanted this podcast to be for everyone – listening at the gym, sitting on the train, or even just taking a walk.

When I’m not swapping stories and recording, I am spending time with my family and friends in my home city of Baltimore, Maryland. I’m a proud graduate of Syracuse University (’03 – Go Orange!) and work in the consulting world when I’m not giving interviews.
