Dan was Head Coach at Highland, Eisenhower, and West Valley for a total of 26 seasons and had a career record of 121-121. He was the Winningest Head Coach in Eisenhower history, with 72-48 record over 12 seasons, from 2002 to 2013, and was previously assistant coach at Ike for seven years. In 2009, Eisenhower reached the 4A state quarterfinals, set a school record with 11 wins, and Dan was named Coach of the Year by the Washington State Football Coaches Association.

He also coached golf at Ike and was Head Coach at Highland from 1986 to 1991. Dan was a big guy and the word "big" pretty much describes his life. Everything Dan did during his life was big and over the top. He had the biggest heart and was a great friend and mentor to hundreds of kids over the years. He will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by all those who knew him. There will be a scholarship setup in Dan's name.
