He is a certified Sport First Responder and is currently working towards obtaining his Sports Physiotherapy Certificate. He has provided on-field coverage for a variety of sporting events including the Canadian Sledge Hockey championships, the Ontario Winter Games, the Muskoka Half Ironman, and spent a few years as the athletic trainer for the Elmira Sugar Kings Jr. B hockey club before taking a break to spend time with his newborn son.

In his spare time Dan enjoys playing sports such as hockey and golf, working out, cooking, making far too many fancy espresso based drinks and going on hikes with his wife and son.
