Danny was born and raised in Corinth, Mississippi. He had a very interesting life and he was an inspiration to many. His joy of life was very evident in all that he did. His career started with an appointment to Annapolis. Due to health issues he had to leave after a year. He worked several years on the air at WCMA radio station in Corinth. He attended the University of Mississippi. He continued his education ending with a Masters degree in business at the University of Memphis. While working on his education he worked for the athletic department and after his degree he became Assistant Athletic Director at U of M in finance under Coach Murphy. After several years he moved over to university management, specifically Auxiliary Services Manager. He retired in 2003 after 36 years with the university. He mentored and helped many athletes and students in his tenure. He had a wealth of knowledge and was always seeking new knowledge. Reading about current affairs, biographies, history, animals and the world was his hobby. After his first year of retirement, he received his first puppy, Minkey Faye. They were the best of pals.
