Albion College

Described by former Albion swimming & diving coach Keith Havens as "a talented and gutsy diver", the Eastpointe native gained All-America status with a seventh place finish on the 1-meter board during the 2005 NCAA Division III Championship. He was an honorable mention All-American in both diving events in 2004. The MIAA's Most Valuable Diver in 2006, he was a three-time all-MIAA award winner and three-time league champion.

In addition to expressing appreciation to his coaches, including Terry Howard, who was diving coach during his time at Albion, Dan made special note of the contributions from his parents.

“I want to thank my parents for encouraging me, driving me to 6 a.m. practice, doing work in the bleachers and always believing in me,” he wrote.
