John graduated from the Professional Flight Program at Purdue University and proceeded to never fly again.  Instead, he focused his time on the world of ecommerce and operations/logistics and has greatly enjoyed his experiences in those two industries.  He joined Peepers in 2014 and collaborated with other team members to launch a new website that was designed to create an optimal customer experience.  Since then, the ecommerce team has grown exponentially and has created an enterprise-level online experience that stands out from the competition.

He and many other team members also took part in the strategy and execution of bringing Peepers’ distribution operations back to Michigan City which created 20+ new jobs in 2019.  This project included building a 23,000+ sq foot distribution center, creating a custom warehouse management system, and moving, organizing, and putting back hundreds of thousands of pairs of glasses…. among many other things. 

John lives in La Porte with his wife, two sons, and dog. He loves golf, basketball, and traveling with his family.  Go Boilers!

Having spent summers in the area his whole life, Dan moved to Michigan City full time in 2016.  Dan’s past work experiences include being a Mortgage Loan Officer with Bank of England Mortgage, a Credit Analyst with Horizon Bank, a video coordinator with the Providence College Women’s Basketball team, and a year working in Walt Disney World as part of the Disney College Program.

Dan is a graduate of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Illinois and attended Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island where he received a bachelor’s degree in Global Studies and later his master’s in business administration.  Dan is a graduate of Leadership La Porte County and also serves as a member of the organization’s Board of Directors

When outside of the office, Dan spends most of his time outdoors either on the beach, on the golf course, or exploring new areas with friends and family.
