Dan was born on July 3,1951 to a large farm family in rural Humphrey, Neb. He was seventh in a birth order of 12 growing up with 6 brothers and 4 sisters. He attended early schooling at Saint Mary of the Angels, finishing out high school at Humphrey Saint Francis in 1969. He spent his early years tied to a tractor farming and setting up bowling pins at the local bowling alley on Tuesday nights. In high school he worked at the Monroe Alfalfa mill, moving to Omaha to work as a machinist for Control Data. It is here where he met the love of his life, Debra (Debi) Lynn Wheeler, lovingly know as Sunshine. They were married on Aug. 30, 1974 in Omaha in the colors of Orange and Cream. Together they started their lives in Colorado where he worked on the Viking Lander with Martin Marietta. On a Fall Friday evening in September Debi went into labor at a local high school football game. On September 6, 1975 they were blessed with their first child, Danielle Dawn. They would later welcome Sons Ryan Jacob on July 13, 1977 and Mathew Daniel on May 2, 1980.
