Playing guitar since seventh grade, teaching it for just as long.
Dan grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, where a seventh-grade teacher first put a guitar in his hands to play for Friday Mass. He was accompanying singers at his church by the age of fourteen, and after moving to Arizona in 1983 spent the following decades leading praise teams and choirs and teaching voice, guitar and piano at Nazarene and Presbyterian churches — twenty of those years leading music at Heritage Presbyterian Church in Glendale.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Arizona State University and spent fourteen years teaching general music in the Isaac and Peoria school districts. He retired from the classroom in 2021 and now teaches privately, still playing in ensembles as time allows.
