The Beauty of a Diamond, Through the Eyes of Coach demonstrates Dan''s ability to adapt, adjust and trust throughout his life on and off the playing field. His story offers the key ingredients in how to become part of the change one wishes to see in the world. Dan has made a tremendous impact in the lives of many young people through sport over many years in a career dedicated in building something greater than oneself with no ask in return other than to reach out a hand to all of those in life that need one. His love and respect for the sport of baseball, mixed with his relentless conviction and passion of leaving it better than he found it, opened the doors of opportunity for so many in his community. He and his non-profit, the BIG Vision Foundation, planted seeds for the next generation, both male and female, and those seeds are blooming far and wide in all aspects of life. Dan''s vulnerability and openness in his book is a pure validation of what Faith over Fear looks like as page after page one will read the tests that ultimately became testimonies in his life. This book will leave you patiently awaiting to see what God''s next calling has on Dan, his beloved wife Sandy and dog Youk as they hit the open road and continue to be a light for all they cross paths with.

The Beauty of a Diamond, Through the Eyes of a Coach, is a book for you, your team (does not have to be sports related) and should be a must read for the leadership in your organization. This book speaks to the power of resiliency, passion and the power of letting go. Our stories and our work are different from Dan''s but we have all experienced major setbacks, hope for the future, visioning and change. As you read about Dan''s journey in this book, you will see glimpses of yourself and you will be moved by his vulnerability and also his strength. A must read for anyone who wants to continue to move forward as life throws them constant setbacks and changes.
