Dan grew up in a small town in up state NY and had 18 students in his HS graduating class. He started working with a paper route at 13 and is still working at age 79. Dan was a marine OCS Air Cadette until his flight instructor flew him upside down in an open cockpit biplane, at which point he switched to a communications officer. He spent 30 years at IBM in Contracts and Procurement, and following his retirement has been a Contracts Management Consultant dealing with companies in (or wanting to get in) the Federal Market place. (At 79 Dan is either slow to realize that “working sucks” or he hasn’t found anything he likes better; therefore, N B Rotary should put him to work to prepare him for a turn as President).
