Dan was born on December 24th, 1962, in Lewiston, Maine, to Arlene and Larry Plummer. He married Patricia in September 1990, with whom he had one child, Jennifer. Dan obtained his GED and worked as a highly sought-after Drywall Technician for Van Pelt Drywall for over 30 years.

He enjoyed playing his guitars, tinkering on his Jeep, foraging for mushrooms, listening to music, watching YouTube videos, experimenting with hydroponic gardening, fishing, kayaking, and camping. Dan and his wife shared many adventures on their mountain bikes, and he was no stranger to trying new jumps and skills on the trails. Some of his favorite musicians were Joe Bonamassa, Journey, We the Kingdom, and Casting Crowns.
