Favorite fish:  Smallmouth Bass, Tarpon

Dan’s lifelong passion for fishing began as young boy in his hometown of Racine, Wisconsin where he fished the Root River for catfish, carp, bullheads and rock bass.  He was hooked on fishing for life. After college and a tour of duty in the U.S. Navy, Dan worked for S.C. Johnson & Son in the R & D division where he developed analytical reasoning skills and applied them to fishing.

In the early 70’s Dan met Ron and Al Lindner and an enduring friendship began. He moved to Brainerd, Minnesota in the mid 80’s to work with the Lindners at the In-Fisherman Communications Network as Chief Operations Officer.  In 2002, Dan joined Lindner Media Productions to direct key elements of the television department including communicating with marketing partners, managing television program distribution, overseeing contract negotiations, plus related management duties.  Over the years he has also been a frequent television co-host.

Currently, Dan is reducing his day-to-day corporate responsibilities as he transitions into retirement; however, he will continue to be involved with general business operations.
