He continued his post-graduate education in the College of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina and holds a Masters of Physical Activity Studies.

After eleven years as a receiver with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, he currently sits third in all-time receptions and ninth in receiving yardage. He was a three-time nominee as the team's Most Outstanding Canadian and, in 1997 - the year the team won the West Division and was a Grey Cup Finalist - he led the team in receiving yardage. In 2009, Dan was inducted into the Roughrider Plaza of Honour. Dan became a Roughrider when he was drafted second overall from the University of Saskatchewan Huskies where he captained the 1990 National Championship team, and was honoured as All-Canadian, West nominee for Outstanding Player and the 1997 CIS Rookie of the Year.
