Dan graduated from Lampeter-Strasburg High School and F&M College. He received his medical degree from Temple University, followed by an internship at Geisinger Medical Center. He then studied neurosurgery in the Yale-Hartford program in Connecticut. In 1975 he returned to Lancaster and practiced neurosurgery at Lancaster Neurosurgery and Spine Associates.

His fascination with astronomy and astrophotography led to many adventures with his friends John Yecker, Sandy Goodstein, Bob Hoover, Barry Greiner, the late Bruce Pipes, and many others. They shared trips to star parties and eclipses all over the world. He also had many astronomy friends and neighbors at the astronomy village in Chiefland, FL.
