The youngest of five, prior to college he worked summers with his father and brothers on the fishing dragger Liberty, before it became a third-generation Provincetown family-owned commercial fishing vessel.

Dean's facility with mechanical drawing and mathematics drew him to UMass Amherst (Class of ’82), where he earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering after interning at Pratt-Whitney Aircraft. As an undergraduate, summers found him waiting on tables in Provincetown at the Lobster Pot, Grand Central, or Martin House restaurants.

After college, he and his partner managed a reprographics center in Amherst, and a specialty food shop in Newport, RI. They returned to Provincetown in 1994. For the next 15 years, before moving to Florida, they operated the 1807 House Inn & Guest House, at 54 Commercial Street, opposite the West End Boat Landing.
