Dan Donohue is a senior and former player at [[Saint Viator]] High School in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. Really a generalist, he was Saint Viator's de facto literature and fine arts player. He is now a hobo who rambles from tournament to tournament looking for ones that will let him play. He is also the youngest-ever [[IHSSBCA]] test-certified moderator.

For much of his senior year, he was unaffiliated with the team at [[Saint Viator]], yet played many tournaments in Illinois solo as a [[rogue]] team, an action which [[David Riley]] said "inadvertently opened the door for others to do likewise."
