For years, Dayna was one of the top female rock radio personalities in the USA.

After leaving radio, Dayna created The Space Store (www.thespacestore.com ), the world's largest space related e-commerce venture which she sold to a NASA aerospace contractor. She also started Smart Girls Rock (www.smartgirlsrock.com), a product line currently available to encourage girls to make "smart the new cool" or "geek the new chic." And, Dayna founded Operation National Anthem, a series of free videos of active U.S. service men and women (www.operationnationalanthem.com), offered to venues throughout the country to play prior to the singing of our national anthem.
