Dan grew up in Lawrence, KS, about one block away from the KU campus. One of the attributes people inherit being from Lawrence is a love for KU basketball. He went to KU and walked on the track team his Freshman year. During his Sophomore year the track team asked him to walk off the team. He was the jack of all sports and the master of none. To this day Dan loves physical exercise and working out.

Favorite verse:

2 Corinthians 11:3 summarizes a principle that has been important for my particular journey. It says, “But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness your minds should be led away from simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.”
