In 2006, Dan launched True North Mortgage in Calgary, Alberta, to give Canadians access to the lowest mortgage rates without all the hassle and game-playing that can occur in this industry.

Since then, his visionary leadership has propelled True North to fund over $20B in Canadian mortgages, delivering competitive rates and a transparent, hassle-free mortgage service — online and in stores across Canada.
