Dean Collins

Dean (Dac) Collins is currently a Police Detective in central Ohio and a retired Master Sergeant in the Ohio Air National Guard. In 2019, Dean was awarded a Writer EXPY® from the National Association of Experts, Writers and Speakers®. Dean’s writing passion continues his love of music and the family dogs, Captain Chunklez and Private Fynn, and has taken the form of this new book. Dean has taught powerful time-tested success principles to kids using subtle messaging while teaching their favorite songs via guitar and harmonica.

In addition to writing empowering children’s books, Dean enjoys being active in many organizations including Books & Badges, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fairfield County, Emmaus Music Director, Kairos Prison Ministries and teaching music lessons to at-risk kids and veterans at the local VA Hospital.

In his spare time, Dean relaxes by playing in his band at various venues, including anywhere veterans and music lovers gather. The "D. DAC Collins Band" is a local favorite, playing a mix of Country, 70’s/80’s rock and gospel.
