Personal Bio:

Dan grew up in Manchester and started playing soccer at 8 years old for his local soccer team. He then moved to a club called Beechfield United where he played multiple positions before settling on becoming a defender. Alongside his local team, he also played for his elementary school, high school and college. His local club encouraged him and his teammates to start their refereeing and coaching licenses at 16 years old to help them secure a future in soccer. 

Dan went on to study Sports Coaching at Edge Hill University in the UK and it was here where he was encouraged to head to the U.S. and work on summer camps with UK International Soccer. He was fortunate enough to work across multiple states in 2008 and 2009 coaching lots of youth soccer players. In 2011, he decided to move to the U.S. full time and landed with Wizard FC in 2013 where he has spent the past 10 years before moving to Evolution SC.
