==Meeting Northernlion==
Having got established on Youtube, Dan became friends with Mathas and knew who Northernlion was, although the two never met each other. That changed at PAX East in 2014, where Mathas essentially tricked the two into meeting each other by telling Dan that NL wanted to collaborate with him while telling NL that Dan wanted to collaborate with him, so the two met for lunch in spite neither wanting to colab at the time and they struck up a friendship off the back of that.Reddit: How did NL meet Dan Gheesling? Soon Dan and NL were regular collaborators, first with Dan appearing in NL's series playing Gauntlet in 2014, and later joining the NLSS in 2015.
===NLSS Civil War===
In the wake of BaerTaffy releasing his diss track on Northernlion, which saw the NLSS crew split into factions of Team NL and Team Baer, Dan aligned himself with NL which led to the two collaborating on their own diss track.

Response to the diss track was negative amongst the NLSS community, which led to both NL releasing a diss track on Dan (which has never been posted to YouTube) and Baer releasing a second diss track taking aim at Dan.
==Big Brother Appearances==
Dan's first appearance on Big Brother came in the show's tenth season in 2008, having previously applied for the show's sixth and ninth season. During his time on the show he formed an alliance with fellow houseguest Memphis Garrett that became known as The Renegades, while Dan also picked up the nickname "Judas" after he got fellow contestant Jessie Godderz evicted while sparing Memphis. In spite of this, Dan proved to be a very popular houseguest, where he ultimately won the show's $500,000 prize after the show's jury unanimously voted him as winner, beating Memphis by 7 votes to 0 and winning the first perfect game in Big Brother history (Winning with an unanimous jury vote and never recieve a vote against him during an eviction).
Dan returned for the show's 14th season in 2012, initially as a coach but was later voted in to the house by viewers, where once again made the final two. However this time he only received the show's runner-up prize of $50,000 after losing to winner Ian Terry.
As well as appearing as a contestant, Dan has appeared in subsequent seasons of Big Brother as a panelist, in both the American and Canadian versions of the show.
==Personal Life==
In July 2011, Dan married his wife Chelsea. To date they have two children: Desmond, born in 2016, and Miles, born in 2018.
