Daniel Alan Biehl

Daniel Alan Biehl was born June 9, 1981, in Billings Montana to Randy and Colleen Flaherty Biehl. His family lived in Red Lodge, Montana where he developed his love of the outdoors. In Red Lodge, he participated in Boy Scouts and Little Guy Wrestling prior to the family moving to Great Falls. Dan’s love of sports, music, and the outdoors continued in Great Falls. He attended East Middle School and graduated from Great Falls High School being involved with band, choir, the German club, football, wrestling, and track and field. He continued playing football and track and field while in college. He graduated from Montana State University- Billings with a B.S. in Health & Human Performance and a Master of Science in Sports, Fitness & Recreational Management. He was a track and field coach at Billings West High school and MSU-Billings. At the University of Montana, he worked as a graduate intern for the Athletic & Marketing directors. He continued at the University as the Graduate Student Director for Student Involvement Network. Dan spent a year at South Dakota State University as the Program Advisor to the University Program Council, working with the various student groups and student organizations on campus. He was an optics and outdoor gear specialist at Scheels Sporting Goods in Great Falls. Dan genuinely enjoyed helping people, especially with hunting, sports, and the problems families and friends faced in life. Always a huge fan of Montana’s outdoors, Dan enjoyed big game and bird hunting, ice and fly fishing, and barbecuing. The fall was his favorite season to embrace this love, spending his free time hunting with his trusty bird dog, Cooper, and with friends and family.
