Dan was born December 10, 1947 in Hanover, NH to Almon Bingham Ives and Mary Elizabeth (Abraham) Ives. He graduated from Hanover High School in 1966 and from the University of Maryland with a Bachelors in Sociology in 1970 and a Bachelors in Business Administration in 1975. After becoming a Certified Public Accountant in 1979, he had a long and distinguished professional career as an energy rate specialist, consulting and speaking nationally and often testifying before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. His employers included Washington Gas and Electric, Algonquin Gas Transmission Company, ANR Pipeline Company, Lukens Energy Group/Black & Veatch Corporation and his own private consulting business. He was a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Houston chapter of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants, as well as the Past Chair of the American Gas Association's Rate and Strategic Issues Committee. In retirement, he volunteered with the SPCA in Houston and the Salvation Army in Galveston. He was an active member of Moody Methodist Church in Galveston.
Dan was a man of varied interests; he was an avid sailor, skier, traveler, runner, reader. In high school and college he was a volunteer firefighter and (to his parents' horror) he was on the hose line for the big fire of 1964 which destroyed downtown Lebanon, NH. He loved dessert and a glass of Chardonnay, and doted on his pups Sheena, Sassy and Simba. He was generous and kind-hearted, proud and stubborn. He had a cheeky, irreverent sense of humor (his sailboat was named "Windbreaker," an inside joke) and an extensive collection of ball caps. He was adventurous and had lived in New Hampshire, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Michigan before settling in Houston, where he met Kathy, a fellow sailor, whom he married in 2005. Kathy and Dan moved to Galveston in 2014, where he loved to sit on his deck to listen to the waves and enjoy his ocean view. He deeply loved his family; he was so proud of his children and grandchildren.
