He began his academic career as a senior lecturer in Modern History at Glasgow University in Scotland. He holds both bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and a D.Phil. from the University of Oxford. An enthusiastic cyclist, Dan and his wife, Melissa, have two children.
