Dana was born in Portland, Maine, and grew up in Massachusetts and southern Maine. He began learning magic tricks in grade 4, ventriloquism in grade 7, and did his very first show while in Junior High School. He's been performing ever since! That's more than 35 years, and still counting!

After earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Wisconsin in 1976, Dana bicycled from Maine to California where he and Shari got married. Dana has a work history of a wide range of printing, advertising and art. Dana and Shari currently live in Saco, Maine, and Dana has a studio located in Biddeford, just across the river.

Dana and Shari are both active members in the church they have attended for more than 30 years, Seacoast Chapel in Saco. Dana is active in short-term missions work to Russia, where he performs shows and teaches Russian church workers how to use puppets, tricks and juggling to teach lessons from the Bible.
