John Lennon said that, "life is what happens when you are busy making other plans." If that is true, computers are Dan's life. He's been programming since he was in 7th grade. On the side, he served in the Marine Corps during the Gulf War as an Electronics Technician, received an AA in Liberal Arts from Mesa College in San Diego, and studied Cognitive Science at UCSD.

Dan lives in San Diego and takes advantage of the beach and sunshine whenever he can.
