Sports are a multi-generational affair in the Holton household. Dan grew up playing basketball and baseball — his father often coaching — and learned tennis from his grandfather who played well into his 80s. At Bucknell, Dan played on the college soccer team. He’s since shared his passion with his own children and spent over a decade coaching their youth sports teams. Today, Dan and his wife, Jennifer, are avid cyclists and are always game for tennis with their daughter.
