He served in the Air Force and following moved Reno, Nevada where he was a Field Service Technician for video poker and slot machines.
Dana returned to the Valley where he worked alongside his mother, who was a singer, musician and voice coach. He operated a recording studio, produced music and assisted people preparing for auditions and helped train voice actors.
He has a lifelong interest in photography and has operated dark rooms and produced prints for personal as well as commercial use.
Other interests include computers where he has learned various computer languages such as Assembly, Promal, HTML and Java Script.
Also, for quite a few years, he has had an interest in Valley history. This led Dana to start looking up photographs of old Valley buildings.
