Dan's competitive background includes gymnastics, football, basketball, track and field, and, of course, Weightlifting. Using this extensive background and experience, Coach Dan develops individual programs for each sport-specific athlete and weightlifter. Open communication is ongoing with each athlete, as programs continue to evolve with the best interest of each athlete always the top priority.
Coach Dan first got involved in health and fitness in 1992 at the age of 14, after having been a competitive gymnast during middle school. He started weight training to gain size, strength, and speed for football and basketball. As part of his weight training regimen, he learned the Olympic lifts from his coach, Jerry Arline, Sr.
After graduating from high school in 1994, he began to devote more attention to the Olympic lifts. In the summer of 1995, after only 6 months of serious training, he entered and won his first weightlifting competition. That same year, he won the Sunshine State Games and placed 8th at the American Open. In 1996, he placed 3rd at Jr Nationals, won the Florida State Championships, and placed 3rd at Sr Nationals(taking the silver medal in the snatch). He was then invited to be a summer resident at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
A series of injuries combined with college, life, and work kept him out of competition for the next several years, but he kept up with his training and involvement in health and fitness by participating in team sports and training alongside world champion powerlifters and world-class Olympic Weightlifters, bodybuilders, and strongmen. He has worked in the fitness industry for the last 25 plus years, dealing with nutrition, equipment manufacturing and sales, personal training, and coaching the Olympic lifts.
