Dan is a native of rural Lennox, South Dakota. He fondly recalls his parents splitting their working time between teaching and farming, and involving their young children in every aspect of the family's purebred hog operation.

Dan attended O'Gorman High School, and then received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He attended law school at the University of South Dakota School of Law. During law school he worked as a research assistant to the Hon. Robert Amundson, retired Supreme Court Justice, and served as vice-president of the Moot Court Board. He graduated 2nd in his class and received the distinction of Sterling Honors.

Dan started his private practice in 2005 with offices in Sioux Falls and Parker. He serves as outside general counsel for a regional truck sales conglomerate, with operations and dealerships in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado. His business clientele also includes a car dealership, three building contractors, two hair salons, a publisher, two manufacturing companies, real estate investment groups, a software developer, and a landscape/property maintenance company. Dan's litigation practice emphasizes commercial and general civil cases. He also represents creditors in collections and bankruptcy proceedings. Dan regularly accepts cases from Spanish-speaking clients in the Sioux Falls area, and he serves as President of the Second Circuit Bar Association.

Dan lives in Sioux Falls with his wife Jennifer (Lee) Brendtro, their two high-energy children, several fish, one frog, and a very loyal dog whose favorite past-time is car rides. Jen specializes in graphic and interior design. Dan remains an avid fan of Hoyas basketball, and serves as an alumni interviewer for Georgetown applicants. His remaining free time is consumed by carpentry, running, hiking, reading, managing his fantasy football team, and playing cards.
