With over 20 years of experience at True North Hotel Group, Dan has a proven track record of success, overseeing operations and driving results at multiple properties.

Currently, Dan holds the dual role of General Manager and Kansas City Area Manager. In this capacity, Dan spearheaded the exciting opening of Kansas City’s first Home2 Suites by Hilton, a project that perfectly complements the vibrant downtown Union Station area.
