Dan Meyer was born in Manhasset, NY, a small suburban town on Long Island only about a 45 minute train ride away from New York City. He went to Manhasset High school, where he was heavily involved in music, playing in the jazz band, marching band, wind ensemble, and orchestra.
After high school, Dan went to college at Tufts University to pursue a bachelor's degree in computer science. To this day, Dan still attends Tufts and writes short autobiographies for classes like Web Programming.
