He was a graduate of St. Albans High School. He then went on to obtain an AB in Music Education from Morris Harvey College as well as a MA in Music from Marshall University.
Dan loved to share his piano music with everyone. He said that it made him and everyone else happy. He always made time to play at Huntington Bank in Nitro, the Hansford Center in St. Albans, and various other Senior Living Centers.
