Early life

Moffett was born in Highland Park, Illinois, and raised in nearby Wilmette. He took the stage name of "D.W." to avoid confusion with British actor Donald Moffat.

After attending Stanford University, where he majored in political science, he found himself back in Chicago working as an investment banker.
