The headlines know Dan as one of the most successful swimming coaches in Iowa high school history. We personally knew him as a man who passionately loved his wife and kids. A family man of character who still swooned over his wife of almost 20 years. A wonderful friend and teammate. A compassionate teacher. A beloved coach to generations of kids. Dan was the type of mentor and friend who made you want to become the person he already thought you were.

So many of you have asked how you can care for Jodi, Joe, Tommy and Leah. We’ve set up this fund to benefit them and help carry the burden for this amazing family during this impossible time.
