Dan finished his undergraduate degree in kinesiology from Rutgers University-New Brunswick. He continued his physical therapy education at The College of Staten Island-CUNY in New York. After spending his most of his life in the Northeast, he needed to have a change of pace and started traveling after graduation. He ended up settling in Colorado to have access to the mountains for snowboarding, climbing and camping. When not outside you could find Dan most likely dancing anywhere where the music is good.
