Dan Shevchik (born November 24, 1980) is a former American competitive swimmer, who won a bronze medal in the 200-meter backstroke[1] at the 1999 Pan American Games.[2] In 2018, Shevchik was named to the Harvard Varsity Club of Hall of Fame following a decorated career in which he won the Phil Moriarty Award (Ivy League Championship Swimmer of the Meet) four times and earned four consecutive appearances on the All-American first team in the 200M backstroke and 400M IM.[3][4] His career also featured three Ivy League Championships (2000, 2001, 2003).[5]

Shevchik is currently a sports media executive at Sports Media Advisors[6] in New Canaan, Connecticut.[7] Since joining SMA at the firm's inception in 2009, Shevchik has worked with virtually all of the firm's clients, including initiatives with the NFL, MLB, NASCAR, USTA, UFC, Hockey Canada, Little League, EA, Twitter, NextVR, and several private equity firms.[8] Over the course of his career, he has negotiated more than $10B worth of media rights deals.[9] Shevchik's work at SMA led to him being named to the Sports Business Journal's Forty Under 40 in 2018.[10]
