Born in Olympia, WA, DJ Dan came from a large family where he had nine brothers and sisters. His love for music started at an early age, but was shadowed by his passion for fashion design. Dan moved to Seattle to attend the Thomas Edison School of Design, where he graduated at the top of his class. While in LA trying to get a job in the fashion industry, Dan began DJing for fun on the side. His DJ career began to take off so he left fashion behind him. By 1992 was one of LA's top DJs having launched No-Doz an after-hours club with fellow DJ Ron D Core. His career also took of in San Francisco where he became resident at Funky Tekno Tribe.

Dan's popularity grew and he began to produce. He has worked with such artists as Carl Cox, Keoki, and Cirrus, as well as Orgy and Freestylers.

Dan now tours the world and frequently graces New York City's Twilo with his exciting and energetic music
