Dan is a recent 2025 physical therapy graduate from the College of Saint Scholastica in Duluth Minnesota. However, he is local to the west Minneapolis area and graduated in 2013 as a Minnetonka Skipper. From there, he went on to swim at a collegiate level at the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater where he was a school record holder in the 100 butterfly. He coached at a collegiate level while finishing up his undergraduate degree and continued his passion for swimming after college by coaching for Minnetonka Swim Club and Aquajet’s Swim Team. 

He continues to serve Aquajet’s Swim Team today as a coach for all age swimmers and found his passion for serving swimmers as a physical therapist. He is dedicated to ensuring that aquatic athletes can participate in their sport at the highest level possible. This includes injury recovery, injury prevention, or performance improvements. This includes interventions both in and out of the pool.

Understanding that movement is a part of what we all do is why Dan pursued this career path. He is dedicated to help an athlete return to full competitive performance or for a grandparent to return to playing with their grandchild on the floor. Outside of the pool and clinic, you can find Dan taking photos of nature out on hikes, bike rides, and exploring many local trails and lakes. He is a growing photographer who is passionate about landscapes and people. Be sure to say hi to him in the clinic!
