What a hoot! Opening up the 1975 Time Capsule at the Fargo Civic. It was fascinating-and kinda smelly (a wee bit moldy). Congratulations to Cyndy Mason at the Fargo Library and her team for putting together a terrific evening! It was my sincere pleasure to a part of the event!

Dan as your host
Dan emcees a number of premier events
Another element Dan brings to the table is his ability to host events. Dan is a very popular emcee and hosts events like North Dakota State University's Athletic Hall of Fame ceremonies. The Chambers' Voices of Vision events where Dan interviewed Payton Manning, Danica Patrick and Terry Bradshaw. His resume includes events for the American Heart Association, The Arthritis Foundation, The Children's Hospital, The Miss Teen, Miss and Mrs. North Dakota pageant and many more. Dan hosts major events for the North Dakota Banker's Association, The Fargo and Moorhead Park Districts annual Ice Revues and on the right is Dan hosting The ND Aviation Association Hall of Fame ceremony-**Update. and a sad update. The recipient of the ND Aviation Hall of Fame honor on this evening was State Representative Cindy Schreiber Beck. Cindy shockingly passed away at her home in Wahpeton May 18th. It was my great honor and privilege to meet her on this evening a spend a few moments with a truly remarkable human. my deepest sympathies go to her mom and daughter, siblings and everyone who loved her. May the Lord bless and keep her in the palm of His hand.
Dan prepping for Bison Football
US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis
This was Dan's view of the field at Target Field Minneapolis when North Dakota State played host to Butler University to kick off the season a few years ago. It was a great day. Fun to announce games at such tremendous venues! Dan also announced the Bison/Eastern Washington game at US Band Stadium. Dan's been the stadium announcer for NDSU Football and Basketball for many years now. It was a great privilege to announce a game at the home of the two time world champion Minnesota Twins! The staff there was excellent. What a thrill! Dan can announce your event too!
Dan Announcing NDSU Basketball
this is a shot inside the Sandford Health Athletic complex. "the shac"
Its a great thrill to be so close to the action to announce NDSU Bison Basketball!! David Richman has led the Thundering Herd BB Team to three NCAA Tournaments and and into seven Summit League Championship Games and an incredible 175-114 record during his tenure as head coach. David has won 2 Summit League regular season Championships (2015, 2020) and three Summit league tournament titles (2015, 2019 and 2020.)
The Bison women under Jory Collins are on the precipice of greatness. The program struggled for a few years but they are back! Jory's 98 wins rank as the second-most in Bison history and most in the NDSU Division I era. The Bison have made three Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) appearances, including advancing to the 2025 Great 8 round. The Bison also made their first ever appearance in the Summit League Tournament championship game in 2024. GOBISON!
lot's to be proud of and looking forward to!
