Defending Masters Champ at "The Beer Run" and Winter Wolf 15 miler.

4 time Boston Marathon qualifier - most recently 2008, where he ran 3:08:02

And according to Dan, his "most crowning achievement":
Climbed the water tower on the Kalamazoo Mental Hospital grounds a record 11 times in 4 years.
To climb said water tower, one had to climb an 8 foot fence with barbed wire, then find a way to climb ten feet to get to the bottom of the ladder. You would think with the barbed wire and inaccessible ladder, one wasn't supposed to be climbing said tower.
