DAN COMISKEY BIOGRAPHY

Dan Comiskey is a two-time Grey Cup Champion who spent 13 seasons in the Canadian Football League. Throughout his career, he was mentored by over 40 professional coaches—each a specialist in team dynamics, behavior change, and leadership. Their influence helped shape Dan into an expert in habit transformation, high-performance culture, and personal development.

A perennial all-star, Dan retired from professional football in 2010 and seamlessly transitioned into the industrial sector. He has since served as a behavioral safety specialist in the heavy oil industry, applying his deep knowledge of leadership and teamwork to improve safety culture and operational performance.

Dan is also the co-author of The Truth About SuccessEnduring Principles of Leadership, and Professional Coaching: Thirty-Eight Stories Learned Through Football. These works reflect his passion for translating elite sports principles into everyday leadership and organizational success.

Beyond the workplace, Dan is committed to improving men’s mental health and community well-being. He is a proud partner in the Breakfast With Champions Movement and an active collaborator with the YOU MATTYR Foundation, both of which focus on empowering men through connection, support, and purpose-driven outreach.

With two decades of elite athletic experience and more than a decade in industrial safety and leadership, Dan delivers a powerful and authentic message that resonates with teams, leaders, and communities across industries.

Dan Comiskey, I would like to thank you for the very moving presentation you put on at Taurus Site Services Inc at Northwest Redwater Partnership Site. Watching you engage all of our construction workers and have them waiting for your next sentence was amazing. I am so happy to see you have such a passion in our industry and profession and I think you hit home to a lot of people. My crews continue to speak of your visit and your openness to them and allowing the pictures with you and your ring were a huge success. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and keep in touch.

Dan, I would like to thank you for the very moving presentation you put on at Shell Albian Sands. It was very hard to hold back tears in a room full of big tough construction workers. Your passion is needed in our profession and I think you hit home to many people. My crews were very thankful to sit in on your session also. Keep up the good work. I tried to shake your hand but the line and the crowd was too big. Stay safe bro.
