Daniel Arthur Shutt was born on May 14, 1960 in Yankton, SD to Arthur and Frances (Klimisch). He grew up on a farm near Utica, SD and went to Kietzman Country School from first through fourth grade. He then completed the rest of his education in Yankton and graduated in 1978 from Yankton High School. He loved to work on cars. He would buy cars and fix them up. He had some pretty sweet rides over the years. Dan could tinker on cars forever and never tire of it. He helped his dad with farming growing up and one of his first jobs was farming for a neighbor. He moved out to Arizona for something different and worked construction. He also lived in Las Vegas, NV and Albany (Latham), NY before finally returning home to Yankton to help his family with farming, drive cement truck, and finally settling on Kolberg Pioneer, Inc.
