Personal Life
Naulty details a hard upbringing in an article published by Tom Verducci in the June 4, 2012 issue of Sports Illustrated. His older sister's heroin and crack cocaine addiction is what led to the decision for him to live with his father. Shortly after moving to Huntington Beach with his father, his father took a job in Kuwait that left Dan in the care of a baseball coach most of the time, who soon began sexually abusing him. Shortly afterwards, a female teacher also began abusing Naulty.
Naulty's sister is now clean. Naulty and his father-in-law, former Los Angeles Dodgers and California Angels third baseman Johnny Werhas, helped found the Rock Community Church in Yorba Linda, where both serve as pastors. Naulty and his wife Cassie have two sons, and live on the minimum salary their family needs to run their household.
