From the moment his older brother turned him on to Ted Nugent's Stranglehold, Dan knew he had to find a way to express that level of emotion with a guitar.  At the age of 15, his Dad bought him a beat up acoustic and arranged for early morning lessons from a generous local performer, free of charge.  At 19, Dan continued his studies in technique and theory taking lessons from Berklee Graduates Robert Butler and Chris Carey.  Dan joined Burlington based original band, Dionysus.  They performed in various clubs in the Boston circuit throughout the nineties.

By day, Dan, is a data warehouse consultant.  On nights and weekends he is a devoted Dad / Husband and provides guitar lessons free of charge for aspiring young musicians.
