Dante graduated from the Hartt School of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Music Production and Technology and an emphasis in classical guitar performance. Technology and music have always been at the center of his work and creative projects. As an audio engineer, Dante has found rewarding projects both in the studio and on location, having spent time as a staff engineer and assistant at The Barber Shop Studios and 18+ years doing location mutitracking / mixing. 

After picking up a banjo (and later a fiddle), he found old time music, which has been a major passion ever since.

As an educator, Dante has taught audio courses in the Communication and Music departments at William Paterson University. He is currently the full time Audio Technician in the Broadcast Production and Support division of William Paterson University's Information Technology department, where he also supports 88.7 WPSC-FM Brave New Radio, recipient of the 2018 Marconi Award Non-Commercial Station of the Year and 2021 College Radio Station of the Year.
