Just prior to entering his real estate career in 2003, Dan was a local fishing guide on many of the area lakes. With over 127 lakes within a 10-mile radius of his home, including the world-renowned Leech Lake and Woman Lake, there was never a shortage of new water for Dan to explore.

They all enjoy living in this beautiful part of North Central Minnesota, year-round. Dans family live near the Pine River area, and you can find his new office in downtown Pine River.
