NexGoal continues to match our athlete-candidates with great roles in corporate America, including the recent placement of Dan Backler, a former collegiate swimmer at the University of Massachusetts with MioMed Orthopaedics Inc.

Based in Chicago, IL, MioMed Orthopaedics Inc.  specializes in orthopedic surgery, orthopedic rehabilitation, and sports medicine. As a territory sales representative, Backler will be building his relationships with surgeons in the OR and managing all sales activities.

Backler, a standout swimmer at UMass, was a conference champion in the 100 Breaststroke as a senior. He holds the school’s second-best times in the 100 and 200 Breaststroke and was a 4x YMCA All-American in high school.

“NexGoal has helped me gain entry into Orthopedic sales through a fantastic company in MioMed.  The role perfectly fits my background and is a leap in the right direction towards my medical sales career.  It was great and easy working with everyone at NexGoal, especially Kevin Dahl.  Thank you!”
