    Dr. Dan attended Adrian College (MI) on an M&S Manufacturing Co. Scholarship and an Adrian College Presidential Scholarship.  He participated in intramural sports, the Biology Club, and was inducted into Beta Beta Beta Biological Honorary Society.  Dr. Dan joined the Alpha Tau Omega undergraduate fraternity during his freshman year, and twice served as secretary for the organization.  In 1991, the chapter was re-installed at Adrian College, and Dr. Dan was initiated as one of the 're-founding fathers.'  He currently serves as Chairman of the chapter's Board of Trustees.  Throughout his Adrian College Career, he worked for the Lenawee (County) Intermediate School District as county debate and forensics league coordinator.  Dr. Dan was named to the Adrian College Dean's List four times, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology on April 26, 1992.

     Dr. Dan entered Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in July of 1992.  He pledged the Pi Kappa Chi professional fraternity in his first semester, joining his father, Dr. Jim Sr., and brother, Dr. Jim Jr., as a member of the organization.  Serving as secretary of Pi Kappa Chi for two years and participating in intramural sports, among other activities, Dr. Dan was quite active with the group.  He also served as a Boy Scout troop commissioner with the Illowa Council, and Advisor of the Chiropractic Explorer Post at Palmer. This group helps high-school students learn about the requirements of becoming a doctor of chiropractic, and the details of having a career in this field.  Dr. Dan also helped re-form the 'Michigan Club' at Palmer, and served as president of the group for two semesters.   This particular club helps Palmer students learn about chiropractic issues within the state of Michigan. Guest speakers from the state are invited to speak to the club (which Dr. Dan has done several times since graduation), and the club often travels to conventions and seminars within the state of Michigan.  Dr. Dan served as a module assistant at the East Hall student clinic during his final semester at Palmer.  He was named to Palmer's Dean's List five times, and graduated on October 13, 1995 as part of the 'Chiropractic Centennial' class.  In addition, he earned diplomate status with the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners

     While attending Palmer, Dr. Dan earned certification in the Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique.  Approximately 600 doctors worldwide have this certification. The technique itself is an effective treatment for several types of low back and cervical (neck) problems.  It has proven to be the treatment of choice in cases of intervertebral disc herniation.  Dr. Dan assisted the technique's founder and developer, Dr. James Cox of Fort Wayne, Indiana, in teaching a seminar on this technique (Chicago, November '95).

     Following graduation, Dr. Dan joined his brother in practice.  At this time, his father retired from office life.  This year, Dr. Dan has served as Chairman of the Board of the Hudson chapter of the Michigan Jaycees, and has participated in numerous Jaycee activities which benefit the community.  He previously served as Individual Development Vice-President ('96-'97) and President ('97-'98) of the chapter.   Joining his father and brother, Dr. Dan served as team physician for the Jackson Jaguars semi-pro football team (located in Jackson, MI) for one season.  Professionally, Dr. Dan is a member of the Michigan Chiropractic Society, and was a student-member of the organization while at Palmer.  He has served three terms as secretary of district 2 (south-central Michigan), and is currently the Chairman of the Technology Committee.  Dr. Dan is the author and webmaster of the Michigan Chiropractic Society web site, which won 1st place in the country in the 1998 American Chiropractic Association's web site contest.   A seminar on 'Computer Training' was given by Dr. Dan at the MCS 1998 Spring Convention in Grand Rapids, MI.  Another such seminar was presented at the Fall Convention in Troy, MI.  In addition to earning the ACA Award for the MCS web site, Dr. Dan has earned a 1998 'ChiroMaster' Award from the publication, 'Dynamic Chiropractic.'
