Dan started playing piano/keyboards in the
late 70's at the age of 8 and first started performing live with "Blazon." Blazon was
made up of Brian on guitar, Jay on drums, Dan on keys, and another
neighborhood friend on bass. Blazon eventually had some roster changes
and soon became "Boys in the Attic." This band went strong from 1987 - 1993
and disbanded soon after. Dan then joined "Mak" in 1994 and played
with them up until Route 15's birth in 2007. Dan is considered on of
the top keyboard players in the area and is known for his attention to
detail and ability to play any part put in front of him.
