Dan Hopkins

General Beliefs: Over the past fifty years I have always strived to become the best at whatever I do. I've felt that education has been the secret to that success. I continually attend seminars, classes, conventions, symposiums, and conferences, which I feel helps me become a better businessman, salesman, educator, player, coach, and person. I have always met the challenge of education by establishing a good work ethic. I attribute much of my work ethic to my teacher and friend Bob Fischer who showed me the secret of being good at anything you want too by working hard and doing whatever is necessary to become proficient. 

My father gave me the experience of travel and communication with all different types of persons, which has helped me judge people not from the cover but from there character. I'm a community minded person who enjoys giving back to make a better community for all to live. I believe in getting involved with any activity that I feel I can help in a constructive way. I'm a hands' on learner who is willing to read and research to find the answer to any question. I enjoy being challenged by difficult situations. My great success outside of my family has been the building of a strong community tennis associations. 

Beyond my career I have a successful family situation with my wife, Chris, and our two children Andy (wife Monica), and Julie (husband Napolean. Whenever possible we do things as a family. In many cases this involves work/pleasure family outing. My rewards become family rewards by allowing us to have a comfortable lifestyle. All of us live only thirty short minutes from each other.
