Dan Gheesling, born in 1983 in Michigan, is a renowned American reality TV personality, best known for his strategic prowess on CBS's Big Brother. A former Catholic high school teacher and football coach, he won Big Brother 10 in 2008 with a unanimous 7-0 jury vote—a first in the show's history. He returned for Big Brother 14, finishing as runner-up and becoming the first player to reach the Final Two twice.

Beyond television, he is a successful Twitch and YouTube gaming content creator, public speaker, and author. He lives in Michigan with his wife, Chelsea, and their three children.
