He attended Arvada high school and after graduating, in September 1969 was ordered to active military duty in the U.S. Navy. During his term of service, he was deployed to Vietnam aboard the USS Meeker naval ship. He was a decorated veteran who was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal and Combat Action Ribbon. Danny was honorably discharged from his service with the U.S. Navy in 1974. He then attended Front Range Community College and obtained an associate degree in Business Management.
