Dennis was born August 13, 1966 in Minot, ND, to Dennis and Carol (Tate) Lucier. He was raised in Minot and attended Minot High School.

Dennis held various positions during his working years. He was a subcontracted truck driver for a number of years at Sears while living in Minneapolis and locally he was employed at Lowe's Floral and Garden Center, Target and Jessen Roofing and the Minot Daily until his health forced him out of work.
