Growing up in a family involved in law enforcement, who appreciated and encouraged hard work, discipline, and physical fitness, Dan started his sports journey with football at age 7. He continued playing and training in the sport throughout high school and college.
​
It was in high school that Dan met Tom Zbikowski, a former football player turned boxer. This changed everything for Dan. Tom and his father, Eddy, took Dan to speed and sports performance camps to help him advance in football. They also took him to Windy City Gym in Chicago to hit the bag, learn about boxing, and watch skilled fighters spar and train. It was here that he began to love boxing.
​
Shortly after high school, at the age of 18, Dan had his first amateur fight. Now, over 30 amateur fights and several Golden Glove tournaments later, 
​
Boxing isn't Dan's only passion, however. He has trained with some of the best athletes in Illinois, as well as a wrestling and Shotokan karate background. He spent over five years training with legendary trainer Yasunori Matsumoto.
​
Dan wants to pass on the knowledge he has acquired over the years from the numerous camps, gyms, and fights he has participated in. He wants to give athletes and non-athletes the skills to enhance their sport—whether that's boxing, team sports, or everyday life. The drills and exercises he uses to train will increase athleticism, burn a lot of calories, and increase confidence.
