Prior to law school, Dan was a two-time Academic All-American basketball player, and he spent a year playing professional basketball in Limerick, Ireland. A small poster in his office shows a dimly lit basketball court that states, “You’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Whether playing basketball or coaching one of his eight children, the lessons from the sport remain important to Dan in his litigation practice … Teamwork. Discipline. Hard work. Passion. Competition. When he’s not working or coaching, Dan can be found reading history, hiking, or shooting baskets in his driveway.

Dan holds a B.A. in History & Political Science from Dakota Wesleyan University (Mitchell, SD) and a J.D. from the University of South Dakota School of Law (Vermillion).
