FOUNDER

Daniel Packman started Smoke & Spirits in his design studio back in 2019 and now leads several groups in a 1929 rustic barn. Currently, there are 8 groups in Oregon, 3 in Tennessee, and planning to expand in Eastern Oregon (Redmond and Bend) California and on the East Coast. He has been following Christ for over 40 years and has always had a passion for encouraging others to run the race of Faith with endurance, reaching out to the marginalized, and especially leading other men to be more Christ-like.

He has been married for over 25 years to Hollie and is a proud and engaged father of two adult daughters who are following Christ on their own. Fostered by over 30 years in the field of Architecture and Design, he has a desire to curate unique environments where men can feel welcomed, safe, vulnerable, encouraged, and challenged in their walk with the Lord. He has an appreciation for fine whiskey, a good cigar or pipe, and a commitment to intentional conversations about being better men, husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors, and most of all, being the hands and feet of Jesus.
