He grew up in rural Mingo and graduated from Mingo High School in 1975.  Growing up he also helped local farmers on their farms. Dan then moved to Newton and began his 30-year career at the Maytag Company.  On March 25, 1989, Dan was united in marriage with Tammy Buchanan. As their children, Matthew and Elizabeth were growing up, Dan was an active volunteer with Babe Ruth baseball, Newton Little League, and the Newton Girl’s Softball League.
