Dan Largent believes that he is many things: father, husband, teacher, coach, athlete, comedian, musician, grill master, and now, apparently, author.

He resides in Olmsted Township, Ohio with his wife, April, and three children, Brooke, Grace, and Luke.

After years of listening to people tell him that he should write a book, he certainly hopes those same folks will buy it now that he actually did...

Dan was born during the "Blizzard of 1978" to his parents, Jeff and Anne, before spending the majority of his childhood in nearby Strongsville, Ohio. Prior to starting 9th grade, Dan moved back to his birthplace of Berea and graduated in 1996 from Berea High School.

Dan completed his undergraduate degree in Elementary Education (Grades 1-8) at THE Otterbein University, where he was also a 4 year letterman in football, President of Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, a DJ on the former 101.5 FM The Rock, RA, Assistant Hall Director, and an esteemed member of the Otterbein Food Service Advisory Board (true story).

After a failed attempt to play football professionally, Dan came to his senses and began his true calling as a 7th grade teacher. In addition to teaching, Dan was an assistant football coach and also the Head Baseball Coach at Olmsted Falls High School from 2010-2017. During his first season at the helm, the Bulldogs reached the school's first ever State Final Four and Dan received the Greater Cleveland Division I Coach of the Year award.

In 2013, Dan was honored to receive the PTA Teacher of the Year award for the Olmsted Falls City School District. That same year he was also recognized as the NEOEA Positive Image Award winner for positive contributions to the teaching profession in Northeast Ohio.

Despite those accolades, Dan feels that his greatest accomplishment is being a father to his three children: Brooke, Grace, and Luke.  

Dan has been working on a number of novels and children's books over the past decade and is ecstatic that he finally finished the first of what he hopes are many more to come.
