“I believe trust is something that is earned, and everyday I strive to do what is best for my clients and follow through with what I say I will do in order to earn and keep that trust."
“Teaching insurance classes was my way of giving back to the industry that has been a part of my life for so long. I really enjoyed training people of all ages that were new to the industry. Helping them to become officially licensed with the state of Wisconsin and helping them to start their careers on the right path”
In 2020, Dan will have been in the Insurance and Financial Services industry for over 40 years. Dan came into the industry working for State Farm Insurance and after a few years he became the supervisor of the Universal Life Insurance Department at Time Insurance in downtown Milwaukee. Later in his career he became an independent representative at CRG Services thus creating his own company name of DeRemer Agency.
In 1999 he left his parent company CRG Services and went out on his own as an independent agent. Dan found that many of his clients needed his services in 3 main areas; Insurance, Investments and Taxes. So it was at this time that he also became a Tax Preparation Expert.
In 2001, Dan became an instructor at Kaplan Financial where he teaches adult insurance and continuing education classes. He retired from that position at the end of 2016.
