In his younger years, Dan played in a 70s rock band. He continued to have a love for music throughout his life and especially enjoyed The Doors, The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Doobie Brothers, and Boston, to name a few. Dan had a wide variety of hobbies including collecting coins, drawing, reading, playing chess, and owned more tie-dyed shirts than he knew what to do with. He was competitive and loved strategy games. His childhood love for comic books continued into adulthood and he relished every Marvel movie that was ever produced. Later in life, he found a passion for photography and took endless photos of anything and everything. Dan loved to travel locally and across the U.S. He enjoyed countless visits to the Dallas Arboretum and the Dallas Museum of Art and loved vacationing near rivers and visiting historical landmarks. His pride and joy were his motorcycles, as he lived and breathed all things Harley-Davidson.

Next, he worked for Boeing until he discovered computers which prompted his long-time love for technology. In 2012, he earned his Computer Science degree from Collin County Community College. He went on to work in Quality Assurance and Computer Programming for numerous companies until his retirement from Citigroup in 2017. His love for technology became an obsession, as Dan always wanted the latest and the greatest of computers, tablets, and anything tech he could get his hands on.

He adored his wife and best friend, Deb, to whom he married on February 25, 2000, and enjoyed many trips and adventures together over the years.
