 Dan
As an undergraduate

athletic training, serving as student president for the University
of New Mexico Athletic Training club, the president of the Rocky
Mountain Student Athletic Training Association, and was awarded
the Co-College Student Athletic Trainer of the year. As a graduate
student Dan presented “Workforce Issues for Minorities in
the Profession of Athletic Training” at the First Annual College
of Education Seminar at Florida International University.
“While working with hundreds of athletes both on and off the
field at the collegiate and professional level, I have learned active
patient participation is vital to successful rehabilitation. I have
found the best way to motivate people is to show them how they are
improving on a daily basis, this makes them want to come back and
work harder.”

his time off. Dan also enjoys traveling and spending time with family
and friends.
