Dan Buettner has biked more than 120,000 miles^{[citation needed]} around the globe and is considered the father of the interactive expedition by some.

Over the past ten years, Buettner has delivered more than 500 keynote speeches. In 2000, he delivered the keynote address, along with Intel CEO, Craig Barrett, to 7,000 teachers at the National Education Computing Conference. The National Association of Campus Activities Directors inducted Buettner into its "Hall of Fame" for his 200 college appearances.

His current (as of early 2007) quest is to "unlock the secret to a long life". The Minnesota-based Buettner, 46, has launched 12 real-time expeditions designed to enlist Web users to help solve some of science's biggest questions. For this project, he has identified the globe's "Blue Zones"– hotspots of human longevity– and is working with top demographers and physicians to study diet and lifestyle to create a blueprint for living longer^{[citation needed]}.
