Dan's Story

Hey everyone, just a little update on what I have been up to since IHS. Most know I played ball at Santa Clara University, but after that I sort of disappeared.¿ After Santa Clara, I tried out with the Seattle Super Sonics and enjoyed staying with them through rookie camp and the LA summer league. Although I was invited back to the veteran¿s camp, I chose to go to Europe. Turkey was great and I loved the people, country and challenge of the pro-players life. I returned to California and soon was off again to play ball in Japan. This lasted for 14 seasons during which time, I played for teams like Toyota Motors and Bosch Automotive. A turning point in my career and life happened when I applied for Japanese Citizenship and received it in 1996. This meant I played in the league as a Japanese player and actually was on the National Team from 1998-2001. Although we never made the Olympics I did get the chance to play against the 2000 dream team and bang bodies with the likes of Al...Expand for more
onzo Mourning, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd to name a few. While all this was going on, I met my wife Kiyo and we were blessed with a beautiful little girl Miriam Kimi. She is not so little anymore at 11 years old and over 5¿7¿ tall. Definitely my daughter when it comes to height. After Basketball I decided I wanted to be on the business side of things and chose to go back to school and get my MBA. Luckily the top business school in Japan, Hitotsubashi University, had begun a program in 2000 so I applied studied my ass off and graduated in 2005. So actually I have only been desk riding since then, but have had great jobs that keep me close to the game. The 2006 Basketball World Championships held in Japan was a great chance to get into the mix and then I stepped into take over the Converse performance business in Japan. Pretty cool if I say so myself. Life continues and updates will be posted. I hope everyone else has enjoyed life as much as I have. See you all in August.
