Dan grew up living at Island Lake, went to school in Athabasca, and spent much of his spare time helping on the family farm near 9-mile corner, and making memories at the family property on the west side of Baptiste Lake. After moving around to establish his professional career as a Power Engineer, he and his wife purchased property at Sunset Beach in 2018 and moved to the lake as full-time residents in 2021 to start a family and enjoy the adventures that Lake Life has to offer. As a new council member, Dan strives to continue maintaining our quiet and peaceful atmosphere at the lake, optimizing services and communication as needed, and looking for solutions to community concerns in a practical and reasonable manner. His family intends to be long-term pillars of the community, and he is excited to take on stewardship of our wonderful village to keep it friendly and enjoyable for years to come.
