Dan was born a completely normal child in the late 1960's.  Five months later, he had to have a hernia operation.  During that time, he died on the operating table.  When the doctors brought him back, it was eventually determined that he had Cerebral Palsy.

He has had many challenges over thew years, but thanks to his family and friends, he has overcome them.

In 1982, he was  awarded the " Conspicuous   Courage " plaque from Springhouse Junior High School for writing an article about his disability for the school's newspaper.  This award was given only one other time in the schools 15 year history.  He is also listed on the dean's list for making the honor roll all 4 marking periods.

During high school, he went to Lehigh County Vocational Technical School where he was elected Computer Safety Chairman of VICA.  He lead a committee that competed against the state of Pennsylvania for three years.  The committee won 2nd place for 2 years, and then won 1st place where they then went to Wichita, Kansas to compete in Nationals.

Dan and two other individuals with disabilities were the first known physically disabled students to ever attend Parkland High School.  Because of this, the school district developed procedures to assist students with disabilities that they use to this day.
