Dan originally started his soccer career when he was selected at schoolboy level to try out for Fulham FC (English Premiership Club). Although he did not make the final cut, Dan went on to play college soccer as well as representing the UK at college level for Basketball. On leaving college Dan signed professional contracts with Seensee Sonics and played basketball in the National Basketball League.

He came to Pittsburgh 11 years ago where he is also Director of Coaching and Player Development for Sewickley Area Soccer. He maintains close contacts with numerous area coaches and has been rumored to turn out for Accrington Stanley when a Hotspurs game does not conflict.
