Following a diverse international career in consulting, digital marketing, and cross-border business development, Dan founded DKR Marketing to provide digital solutions for small businesses and non-profit organizations. Dan thrives on leveraging digital technology to bring people together.
Prior to founding DKR Marketing, Dan “cut his teeth” in digital marketing in Beijing, China, where he lived and worked from 2011 to 2018. Throughout his career, Dan has collaborated with esteemed and widely recognized businesses in diverse markets on a global scale. His professional portfolio includes partnerships with prominent entities such as the Chinese web giant Sina.com (NASDAQ:SINA), the Harlem Globetrotters, and DTE Energy, showcasing his extensive experience in a variety of international markets. Ultimately, Dan is always looking to work with new clients that have a story to tell and are up for a challenge.
Dan has always been proud to be from “Pure Michigan,” and after years of living and working in major markets, he decided it was time to come home. He now lives near his hometown of Frankenmuth, MI, with his wife, Kayla, and young daughter, Penelope.
