Dan graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Computer Science, and pursued his love of computer programming by working at Microsoft and as a freelance programmer. He and his wife Nancy moved to McMinnville in 2000 and in 2001 purchased Movietime Video. Through owning a video store, the idea of a film festival was born.

He and Nancy live in McMinnville with their 2 sassy senior cats, and they spend as much time as they can with their toddler grandson.
