In December 1992, Dan graduated from McMaster University with a degree in theoretical physics. He then returned to McMaster to study engineering, later transferring to Mohawk College. Dan worked full time; holding down three part time jobs while attending Mohawk and graduated in 1996 with a Mechanical Engineering Diploma with Dean's Honour List Standing.

After graduating from College, Dan worked for several years as a design engineer in the aerospace industry; a position where he was able to develop innovative solutions that generated research grants for his employer. Also, during Dan's employment as a design engineer, he took courses at night school and earned enough credits to get a general B.Sc. in mathematical science with an emphasis on computers. After working as an engineer for nearly three years, Dan decided to return to school to get an MBA in finance.

During Dan's finance MBA, he was able to gain co-op work experience at the Bank of Montreal, Citibank and Siemens. At Siemens, he performed an audit of an entire manufacturing facility, from the ground floor to senior management. This experience has given him great insight into the operations of a company and how it generates profits. Dan graduated from his MBA program with Dean's Honour List standing in 2002 and has been consulting, writing, sculpting and running graduate level tutorials as McMaster University since then. He is currently taking accounting courses geared towards earning a CMA designation.
