Dan is a member of the trios team Triple D, alongside DantaFanta and DessertMonkeyJK (and formerly Gladiator). They competed in the inaugural Crassic Trios Championship, in which they defeated Death Triangle.

As well as ISGP, Dan is also active in the GRA (Games Raced Awfully) community.

Participation in International Spyro Grand Prix 2
Dan was drawn into Group B, and in his debut match lost to Mowmowclub2 in a Spyro 1 race to rescue all Cliff Town dragons and defeat Doctor Shemp. This match was later voided however both due to Max withdrawing from the tournament, and the race not meeting the 10 minute minimum threshold. He went on to draw in his match against Wituz, beat Gladiator, lose to TOTOzigemm, and then win his remaining matches against Kolapro, Brandon Black, Spyrojam86, DaAcorn and TooneySA. He finished top of Group B with 13 points, progressing to Round 2.

For Round 2, Dan was drawn into Group Tanahashi alongside DantaFanta, Marcus Terry-Bedford and liam tbh. He beat Danta in a Spyro 1 prototype race to collect all gems and dragons in Dream Weavers (excluding Jacques and Icy Flight), beat Liam in a Spyro 3 race to complete the Harbor Speedway time-attack and race, but then lost to Marcus in a Spyro 2 race to 100% Metropolis. Other results in the group meant that Dan, Danta and Marcus would face off in a triple threat match to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the group. In a Spyro 2 Japanese Orb Death Race, Dan finished in 1st place, progressing to the semi finals.

Dan faced CharmedSky in the semi finals, in a Spyro 2 race to collect 25 Orbs, 8 Skill Points, 8 Moneybags payments, 9 Talismans, 12 Strongboxes, use all power-up types and collect all Orbs in 5 Levels. Dan won this match and thus progressed to the Grand Final.

The Grand Final was a 3-part lockout bingo race between Dan, Ratchet5, TOTOzigemm and MuddyMaestro. The first race was Spyro 3, in which Dan came last by a considerable amount. In the first take of the Spyro 1 race, Dan came second, missing out on first place after forgetting to mark off an objective. This race was replayed however after it was decided that the penalties (which would have had a considerable impact on MuddyMaestro's score) were unclear and not transparently agreed upon. In the rematch, Dan came 4th. He also came 4th in the Spyro 2 race, finishing 4th overall on zero points.

Participation in Orb Struggle
Alongside DantaFanta and Gladiator, Dan competed as part of Triple D in the inaugural Crassic Trios Championship match against Death Triangle. Triple D beat Death Triangle in a Spyro 2 lockout bingo match with a result of 19-9. Triple D were subsequently crowned the first Crassic Trios Champions.

Participation in Road to Spyro Kingdom
Triple D teammate Gladiator challenged Dan to a "surprise" Spyro 2 bingo race, in which Gladiator handily defeated Dan with a score of 16-7.
