Dan Farnham - Head Coach
Dan Farnham is in his 11th season in 2011 as the head coach of the Reinhardt University men's soccer program. During his time at Reinhardt, he has guided the Eagles to three NAIA Region XIII Tournament appearances, the last in 2007. In 2010, Farnham led Reinhardt to the championship game of the Appalachian Athletic Conference Tournament, falling just short of the University's first bid to the NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship event.
Under Farnham, the Eagles were the Georgia-Alabama-Carolinas Conference Tournament runners-up in 2001 and 2003, along with finishing second in regular-season conference play in 2002 and 2003. In 2002, Reinhardt ended with a 13-4 overall record and in 2003 the Eagles were ranked as high as 16th nationally in the NAIA.
Farnham also presently runs the Eagles Soccer Academy, instructing young players in the area through camps, clinics and private training.
Prior to taking his current position at Reinhardt, Farnham was the director of coaching at youth soccer associations in South Carolina and then in Georgia. He worked in the front offices for the Charleston (S.C.) Battery and Atlanta Silverbacks A-League professional teams from 1997-2001.
Born in Wisconsin, Farnham calls Wheaton, Ill., his hometown. An all-state forward in high school, Farnham played at NCAA Division I Eastern Illinois University before competing in the D-3 Pro League for teams in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Wilmington, N.C.
Farnham is married and lives in Canton, Ga., with his wife Lisa. They have a daughter, Madeline Jane, born in March 2004.
