Dillan grew up in Fonda, NY, with heavy Flat Track racing influence from his father, Duane Veeder, former national number 99 from 1985-1995.
Dillan's journey extends far beyond the confines of racing: In 2012, driven by an insatiable desire for personal growth and a long-term vision, he stepped away from the racing world, redirecting his dedication and competitive spirit towards academic excellence and professional development. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in Dillan's life, laying a robust foundation for success.
After high school, he studied Business Analytics & Economics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy NY, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in 2018.
He has since been working in the corporate world for notable companies like Nike, Converse, and Uber Technologies. However, the call to the track proved irresistible. In the summer of 2022, Dillan returned to racing again, quickly establishing himself as a formidable competitor in the expert classes.
