Dan is originally from Wisconsin. His first group was a polka band where he played lead guitar. The group eventually turned into a Country/Rock group, which was too rock to play in country venues and too country to play in Rock venues. One of his main groups was a band called Broken Bow which played Country and Contemporary gospel music in and around Taos NM. Dan also spent some time on tour with Michael Martin Murphy, playing the pedal steel guitar. In 1992 he retired from music to raise a family and moved to Sierra Vista, AZ where he played lead guitar for the Christian rock group Remnant.
On a lark, Dan went out to Tombstone one night to check out RJB for possibly playing in a video of a song he wrote. The band asked him to sit in for a bit and that was all he needed to realize that we were playing the music closest to his heart. From that night he was hooked and joined RJB the very next day!
