Dan the Man Daniel Gambal has had an adventurous life. He was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

On his 17th birthday he packed up his bags and moved to West Dundee, Illinois, which is located in the suburbs of Chicago. Eventually, he found a job being a lifeguard and teaching swim lessons to children. By the time he chose to attend Loras College he decided working as a lifeguard during the summer was not enough, so he became a pool manager. This was a good job because it fit his personality of The Executive. He deals with things rationally and logically, he is a natural leader, and loves to interact with people. This helped him gain experience for his studies of accounting and finance. Daniel is an ambitious student. He has a plan to graduate from Loras on time with earning 150 credits to sit for the CPA exam, and he did not come into school with any credits from high school.
