Dan helps Agerpoint explore opportunities to leverage AI in farming. He has worked at tech companies such as Boeing and Amazon, launched several startups, and worked globally in analytics consulting. 

Dan has applied his passion for agriculture as the head of analytics for a large packing distributor and as CIO for a major fruit grower, focusing on implementing analytics to improve operations. This experience led him to help found Loftus Labs, which provides fractional data-focused resources to agricultural companies along the west coast of the United States.

Growing up in a small farming town, Dan spent afternoons after school helping local farmers leverage computers to access weather data via dial-up and use office applications for back-office management.
