"Dan Kay has come a long way from his blue-collar
roots in Boston. Born and raised in Walpole, Massachusetts,
he was very involved in athletics, especially football,
skiing and track. While in high school, Dan played on a
varsity football team, which had a long tradition of
winning, a tradition that has helped shape his strong
work-ethic. He graduated from The University of
Massachusetts, Amherst with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in
Political Science & English and later would earn his law
degree from Syracuse University College of Law where he was
also a member of the Moot Court Honor Society.
Charismatic, hard working and goal oriented, most of Dan's
traits were formed from the influence provided by his
parents and a select few coaches and teachers. As a young
boy, his father became disabled, leaving his mother to care
for his family and, eventually, his ill grandmother, all
while working as a full-time nurse. In addition, Dan credits
his mother's work ethic and unselfish attitude for his
strong desire to overcome any obstacles in his career and
personal life.
Dan has practiced law in Boston for five years, which
helped him to purchase several investment properties.
However, dedicating so much of his time to his practice left
him depressed and feeling less than fulfilled with his life.
Prior to leaving for SURVIVOR, he sold off a number of
investments and spent time away from his job, in an effort
to focus more on himself and his friends and family. He
believes this recent awareness, along with having an
increased appreciation for the people in his life rather
than material possessions, will help him succeed not only in
his personal life, but on Survivor.
Attractive, athletic, single and a lawyer, Dan is set to
make a big impression on his competitors. Dan's hobbies
include skiing, running, biking, weight training and
cooking. Currently, he is training to compete in his first
triathlon.
He is single and lives in Boston. His birthdate is June 30,
1976."
