Companies he worked for include LiteTouch, Coresoft, Caldera, Vintela, Quest, Intelliserv, Mozy, DOMO, Loveland Innovations, and Ancestry, where he invented, advanced and managed products in emerging fields. Dan was in the top tier among his peers. In 2003, he published an article in the C/C++ Users Journal. He received a master’s degree in computer science with a specialization in machine learning from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2017. His work experiences allowed him to travel to places such as India and China. He and Heather have three children: Paul, Rose and Thomas. Together, they made wonderful memories. They loved to have outdoor adventures, including camping, biking, skiing, geocaching, and hiking. They liked playing games, trying new foods and restaurants, and playing with their gerbils and snake.
