The Founder’s Dinner Award is given to a person that embodies all that is the mission of St. Thomas More School. At the school, we strive to motivate, nurture, and strengthen our young men, both physically and socially, within a structured environment. We have an academic program for our student’s which, not only encourages, but fosters classroom successes. STM chose to honor Dan for his service, dedication and devotion to the school. In addition to his teaching and coaching responsibilities, Dan attends special events, is an avid fan at sporting events and takes the extra time to get to know students as individuals. He helps the boys overcome their weaknesses so they gain the confidence to work hard and achieve their potential.
