Dan grew up in southwestern Colorado on a farm. While he was in high school he obtained his EMT certificate and started working for a local fire department. Before he left the department he was a certified fire engineer, and captain of a local volunteer department.

Then he started working for Coca-Cola where he gained valuable insight into every aspect of last mile delivery. Later he decided to work for a feed mill as their manager.

Using the experience and knowledge he gained growing up about animal science and the transportation industry he was able to guide the company to a 0 violations year for road side stops!

He later worked in the construction industry and eventually moved on to managing the regional logistics and safety for an equipment dealer in the western United States.

In 2013 he noticed that there was a shortage of CDL testers in Southwestern Colorado. Shortly after he started the grueling process to become a third party CDL tester of the State of Colorado. After a 1.5 year battle he achieved his goal. He was then approached by an energy company to see if he would be interested in creating a commercial driver training program for their company. This sparked the next part of his journey to create the company Eclipse.

While Dan has been very successful he continues to contribute every aspect of his success to God. “Without God involved in every facet of my life I wouldn’t have anything.”

On a more personal note, Dan married his high school sweetheart Jenna. They have been married for over 16 years and are still happily married. They now have 4 children, Billy, Nathen, Brianna, & Jacob. One of their goals as a couple is to be able to spread their love of God to others around the world.
