Dan grew up in Northern Maine, and his family lived all over the country, finally settling in this area while he was in college. He attended the University of Louisville and then the University of Virginia’s School of Law. Dan met his wife Elise at a local church, where they attended and served for over 30 years. They have been blessed with three sons, all of whom are walking with Christ. Dan and Elise hosted some of the first meetings of what would become Trinity Church of Loudoun in their home, and were thrilled to be among the group to covenant together to plant the church.
