Known to his family and the community as Nez, he was born on September 18, 1938 in Manila, Philippines to Luis and Consorcia Danguilan. He grew up with his five brothers and three sisters in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya Philippines attending the Nueva Vizcaya General High School and upon graduation, FEATI University in Manila. In 1960, Nez emigrated to the United States via San Francisco, CA and completed his Bachelors Degree in Architecture at Heald College. In 1975, he began working for the US Post Office, and transferred to the Government Services Administration in Seattle.
