Dan was born and raised in Montana, grew up on a horse ranch and learned early on the importance of taking proper care of livestock, part of that care centered on the feeding and health of the animals. Early on in 1974, Dan and his family witnessed the inability of modern medicine to provide real lasting solutions to his grandfather's Parkinson's Disease. This failure prompted Dan's father Sam to pursue a much less invasive approach to personal health for his family, which lead him to becoming a master herbalist and Naturopathic Doctor. Later in 1983, Dan watched as his other grandfather succumbed to Liver failure in a VA hospital in Oregon. These experiences shaped Dan and his father's pursuit even further into natural, safe, effective, non-invasive ways to handle chronic illness. In 1998 the Country Doctor Nutritional Center was established in Torrington, WY. By November, 2001 Dan was officially asked to join Sam in this endeavor.
