After graduating from high school, he went on to join the US Navy. During his time in the Navy, Dan's focus was on Naval Aviation.

After Dan graduated from college he moved to California where he met his wife Mary and began his over 40-year career in the Aerospace and Defense Industry. Dan and Mary would go on to have two children, John and Robert. Dan was a wonderful and devoted father. He worked hard to make sure his sons had everything they needed and supported us in all our many accomplishments and difficulties in our life. He always taught us to work hard, and save our money, a promise made is a promise kept, the value of education, to always approach things with confidence, a winning attitude, and to never give up.
