| Info | Dan Maes has the diverse background shared by many Coloradans. Born to a diverse, blue-collar family on the south side of Chicago, Dan’s mother, father, and 5 brothers moved to Rib Lake, Wisconsin when Dan was just 6 years of age.
Dan’s father served in the Navy during World War II and went on to be a dockworker for Navajo trucking. Unfortunately, alcoholism took Dan’s father, first in the form of divorce and ultimately by ruining his health. His father died shortly after Dan turned 10.
Dan did not let this sad event dictate his course in life. His mother encouraged him and his brothers to reach out for a better life. Against all odds, Dan rose above his personal tragedies. With the guidance and support of his mother, teachers, coaches, and his pastor, Dan Maes excelled.
At age 13 he took his first job delivering early morning newspapers before heading off to school. Thanks to his father’s VA and social security benefits, Dan graduated from high school and went on attend the University of Wisconsin where he played football.
Dan focused most of his efforts on his undergraduate studies. He graduated in just 4 years with a BA in Sociology and Criminal Justice. Dan knows that without the financial support provided by his father’s social security death benefits and his VA benefits, graduating with a college degree would be merely a dream. He is sensitive to the fact that government benefits, for the neediest in our society, have their place.
From an early age, Dan Maes knew he wanted to live in Colorado. Motivated only by a desire to live here, Dan moved to Colorado in 1985, after 2 years as a police officer, and with no job. After a month he stumbled into what was destined to be his career - business development.
Dan Maes was able to quickly develop relationships and trust by keeping his word and delivering on his commitments. His natural leadership always led him to management roles and ultimately he earned part of a business through sweat equity. He has never looked back. It was at his first business development job where he met the woman he immediately knew would be his wife for life.
Dan and Karen have been married for 19 years. He and his wife enjoy their two children of 13 and 6 as well as Dan’s daughter, from his short first marriage, who will be graduating from UNC in May.
Dan has finally arrived at a place where he can do what he always knew in his heart he wanted to do…to stand up and serve in a role that is bigger than himself for the betterment of his fellow Coloradans.
