Dan has an impressive athletic career: From being a four-time NCAA Wrestling Champion, ‘unofficial’ World Champion, to his career as Olympic Coach at the 2004 Olympic games in Athens, Greece.
Today, he is the senior pastor of Battle Ground Foursquare Church in Washington State and continues to coach professional athletes.
