Dan has been the Head Golf Professional at PCC since 2016. As an assistant professional prior to PCC, Dan’s golf career included time at: Schuyler Meadows Club (NY) 2004-05, Plainfield Country Club (NJ) 2006, Myopia Hunt Club (MA) 2007-15 and John’s Island Club (FL) 2008-16. Dan has a passion for running club tournaments. "We always seek creative ways to enhance our programs and events, but nothing compares to the energy that comes from those 3-5 major events a year on the golf calendar. You can feel the excitement in the air from the membership and they are just as exciting to run and execute as they are to play!" As an instructor, Dan enjoys incorporating course management strategies and ways for students to shave strokes off their game along with work on the swing. He is also certified in the "Tour Read" green reading system. Dan keeps his passion for golf and competition by competing in New England Professional events when time permits. He has qualified for the National Club Professional Championship five times. In 2015 a childhood dream came true as he competed in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. More recently in 2021, Dan finished 2nd in the New England PGA Section Championship. Born and raised near Albany, NY, Dan now resides in Portland's North Deering neighborhood with his wife Lindsay and daughter Vera. They enjoy hiking, biking, and exploring new areas throughout Maine. When not on the golf course, he enjoys a variety of other sports including bowling, tennis, and just about any backyard game.
