Career
After a last minute promotion, Dan made one or two critical buzzes on the road to Cornell's 2nd Place Undergraduate finish at 2021 ACF Nationals. He parlayed this victory into a long and fruitful career as Cornell's club president for the next two years. His hard work finally paid off when he was ranked 94th in Amogh Kulkarni's Top 100 Player Ranking. He capped off his final year by reverse leading the national-title adjacent Cornell B team in scoring at 2023 ACF Nationals. Ultimately, he graduated from Cornell as the most successful science player of the 2010s.
Dan improves as the difficulty and obscurity of the questions increases, making him a highly sought-after teammate for Only Connect. In addition to being the top scorer on his team in Rounds 1 and 12 and at the 2022 Chicago Open, he managed to achieve more than twice the PPG of anyone else at the premier site of the near-impossible 2022 The Query of the Leisure Class while playing with James Sinjames, james owofice, and Keven.
