Dan earned an interdisciplinary Master's degree in Environmental Economics from San Diego State University in 1995. He did his undergraduate work at U.C. San Diego where he graduated in 1990 with a double-major in Economics and Urban Studies & Planning. He worked in both the public and private sectors doing environmental, economic and urban planning before transitioning into the Internet realm in 1997 while working for the Association of Bay Area Governments in Oakland, California. As the dot-com boom got underway, he left to start his own consulting practice.
