Dan graduated from UNH with a bachelor's degree in Marine Biology—with a minor in Ocean Engineering—then earned a master's degree in Earth Science with an Ocean Mapping focus from CCOM. He occupies several roles as a research project manager, including service as relief captain, first mate, and scientific equipment manager aboard R/V Gulf Surveyor. He also instructs field components of graduate courses in CCOM's ocean mapping curriculum. 

In his spare moments, he is collaborating with CCOM's ASV team to develop a novel method for leveraging low-cost recreational sidescan sonars to autonomously collect seafloor imagery from uncrewed vessels.
