Biography

Dan Weinstein started out as a hockey player around Boston, but his speed soon led him to speed skating. He actually competed at the 1994 US Olympic Trials when he was only 12-years-old and then made the US teams for Nagano in 1998, where he was the youngest US Olympian in any sport that year, and Salt Lake City in 2002. Weinstein skated between Olympics while he was a student at Harvard. He later earned an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.

Weinstein won a World Championship with the US relay team in 2001. He and his wife later settled near the Dartmouth campus in New Hampshire, where he taught speed skating as the founder and lead instructor for the Skating Club of Dartmouth’s speed skating program. His primary trade has been as a senior consultant at Vermont-based Resource Systems Group, a market research and consulting firm.
