Dan ’99 and Michon ’99 Frick

We love Clemson! Who doesn’t, right?  We can honestly say our lives would be so different if it wasn’t for Clemson University. See we met at Clemson our junior year in a Marketing class at Sikes Hall.  Two kids from out-of-state meeting in college that have not been married for 20 years! Seems like fate.

Dan was born and raised in Gaithersburg, MD, played baseball and is one of 3 children.  Michon is an only child and grew up in Lexington, KY playing basketball (because that’s what you do in Kentucky!).

We currently live in Dan’s hometown of Gaithersburg with our 3 boys.  Morrow is an incoming senior at Our Lady of Good Counsel, Vaughn is a soon to be high schooler at the same school and Kamper is a rising 7^th grader at St. Elizabeth Catholic School in Rockville, MD.  We live right down the road from Dan’s parents and are neighbors with his cousin, Craig Frick (who has 4 boys of his own…3 of which have attended or are attending Clemson).  We are big on family.

Michon started her career in real estate in Washington, DC until she opened her own women’s clothing boutique in The Kentlands in 2004.  It was a great success, and she recently sold her business and considers herself “semi-retired”, although the boys keep her very busy.  She also volunteers at their schools and is currently the HAS Treasurer at St. Elizabeth’s.  Dan started his career at Oracle in 2000, he quickly learned he liked the fast pace of the corporate world and began working for Apple in 2004.  In 2014, Dan started working for SAP supporting the Department of Defense. 

We owe a lot to the little town of Clemson, SC.  We are hopeful our boys will attend our alma mater someday.  And joining the Regional Board would be a privilege and our chance to give back to the University that gave us so much!
