Dan plays keyboards and helps manage the band. In real life, he has a Master's Degree in Gerontological Nursing and works on a rehabilitation unit at a major hospital in the city. He has been involved in music since childhood, although he never had dreams of being in a rock band until his thirties. The band owes its beginnings to his mom, who, when Dan was a child, often led devotions at the breakfast table. One of her mantras was, "You have to put feet to your prayers..." (You can certainly see the Salvation Army influence there!) After her passing, part of her estate went into the band's equipment. In a way, the band stands as a tribute to her concern for others.
