Dan was born in Atlanta on March 10, 1949. He grew up in Medlock Park in Decatur, GA. He attended Saint Thomas More Catholic School and Druid Hills High School. He went on to graduate from Georgia Tech with a Bachelor's degree in business.

He was known as Diamond Dan the Limo Man and was awarded the Best Chauffeur of the Year in the Continental United States in 2009.

Harrington, brother, John Stephen Harrington, sister-in-law, Clara Guy Harrington, nephews Derek Harrington (Brittany), Candler Harrington, and John D, Harrington and niece, Gayle Scott (Will) and 6 great nieces and nephews.
