As of February 28, 2012, Dan Gross is the President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and its sister organization, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Dan is one of the foremost leaders in the gun violence prevention movement, having co-founded and directed the Center to Prevent Youth Violence (formerly PAX). 

Since 1998, the CPYV has provided innovative public health and safety programs such as the ASKing Saves Kids and SPEAK UP programs.  These trailblazing programs are designed to protect children from the dangers of guns in the home, at school, and in the community.  CPYV is now one of the largest gun violence prevention organizations in the U.S., with a budget of $2 million. Dan founded CPYV after his brother was severely wounded in a shooting at the Empire State Building in February 1997.

Prior to co-founding and directing the Center to Prevent Youth Violence, Dan was the youngest-ever partner at the JWT advertising agency, managing accounts such as Kodak,  Lipton, and Warner Lambert.  Dan launched his advertising career at Lintas after earning a B.S. in Psychology, with a minor in economics, with honors, from Tulane University in New Orleans.
