He was a master at his craft and was the go to guy for the most demanding jobs that required a high quality final product.
Dan loved to fish from the first time he cast his line into the water as a youngster at farm ponds and lakes throughout central Iowa. To hear him tell those fishing stories, the big one never got away. The biggest catch of his life however was not a large mouth bass or catfish, but the love of his life Dora.
