Hello Presque Isle! My name is Dan Hafenbredl, the new Event Director and Communications Coordinator for the Chamber of Commerce, and I am excited for the opportunity to work for the town, promoting tourism, by directing and cultivating top notch events for the community, by working with everyone in order to continue the tradition of Wisconsin’s last wilderness!

I was raised on a dairy farm in Central Wisconsin and have been visiting the Northwoods since I was a little kid. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point with a Business Degree and have a wide range of jobs and roles throughout the last years including running a hammock company in the North, managing campgrounds for the DNR, home renovations, internet marketing services, sales jobs, and even taught snowboarding out West! Being a snow fanatic, I was snowmobiling to school before I had a drivers license and always looked forward to retreats in the North! Nowadays you’ll find me on the snowmobile trails and slopes snowboarding during the winter and out exploring the north, hiking, biking, out on the lakes paddle boarding and camping during the summer. We are truly lucky to live in this incredible place!

You’ll find my professional skills and business background excellent foundation for this role with the Chamber of Commerce. I will devote my time and efforts to the promotion and exposure of all the events at hand and will push the envelope and get it done, by bringing in new ideas to enhance the events in Presque Isle. The Friday market will expand and see an increase in vendors and customers by effective and creative promotion, active leadership and will seriously take on the likes of Boulder Junction and Manitowish Waters

Currently, I live on Plum Lake near Sayner with my dog Spark and am actively pursuing a career in real estate in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan as well as home improvement renovation business. Looking forward to working with everyone and raising the bar for the community and visitors of Presque Isle!
