Fr. Dan, a native of Walpole, Mass., was professed as a Franciscan friar in 1972 and ordained a priest in 1976. He served as a campus minister in Boston’s Back Bay until 1981. After earning his doctorate in history at the University of Notre Dame in 1985, he joined the faculty of Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, N.Y., where he served as rector from 1988-1990. From 1990-1999, he was director of post-novitiate formation for his Franciscan province and served from 1993-2002 as a provincial councilor. He became president of the Washington Theological Union in 1999 and served for six years.

When there's spare time, Fr. Dan enjoys reading, an occasional movie, an over-night to the "outer banks" or the mountains, and day trips to local points of interest. North Carolina is a pretty fascinating place!
