Daniel "Dan" Jobbins (Born:1985). Associate-Founder Highland Park Enforcers

Daniel Jobbins, was born in the Borough of Highland Park, NJ. He spent the entirety of his youth in Highland Park, and graduated from Highland Park High School. While attending HPHS Dan participated actively in both athletics and the arts. He had a very successful career with the Cross-Country/Track and Field teams  His tenure with both teams culminated during his senior year in which he Co-Captained the most successful Cross-Crountry team Highland Park had seen in over a decade, and missed an opportunity to compete in the State Group I championships in the 1600m race by mere strides.

The most lasting impression that Dan left upon graduating, was the creation of the Highland Park Enforcers, a juniors club Ultimate Frisbee team based loosely around the High School. While he joined in what was, technically, the second year of the team's existence (The Enforcers had played one game in the seasion prior), he quickly rose through the ranks to be Co-Captain by the beginning of his Sophomore year, a position he maintained throughout his time at Highland Park.

It was the combined efforts of Dan and his Co-Captain, Micheal Hofrichter, that kept the Enforcers together and that transformed what had started as a rag-tag team of weekend warriors into a viable athletic program capable of competing at the state level. It was also the teamwork of Dan and Micheal Hofrichter that brought into fruition the juniors Ultimate Tournament known as "Dirty Discing". Held in Donaldson Park, Dirty Discing was for two years one of the only existing juniors-only tournaments in New Jersey.

For a brief period of time Dan served as Director of the New Jersey High School Ultimate league (NJHSU), the governing body of Ultimate Frisbee for juniors in New Jersey. However, he was forced to resign among much dissent from its members who were displeased with his failure to take any sort fo decisive action. He handed the position to the captain of a local team, who proved to be far more popular.

Upon graduating from Highland Park, Daniel enrolled at Boston University, where he is still attending classes today. He is an active member of the BU Ozone Pilots frisbee team. He remains in touch with the current members of the Enforcers and frequently advises them in the subjects of frisbee and life.
