Dan Marti
Corcoran Logistics
General Manager. Purdue '09. From hospitality to logistics leadership to running his own excavation business and back. The connector who linked Glen to Indiana.
Personal Note
How I Know Dan Marti
Dan and I were at Purdue at the same time — 2005 to 2009. He was in hospitality and tourism management with a minor in organizational leadership. I was doing my thing. We overlapped for four years on campus.
What I've always respected about Dan is that he doesn't sit still. He's gone from Enterprise Rent-A-Car to national sales at Quality Companies to running a branch at Corcoran Logistics to starting his own excavation business to coming back as General Manager. Most people pick one lane and stay in it. Dan picks the lane that needs him.
Dan introduced me to Todd Hamilton, who introduced me to Tom Danford, whose accounting practice was acquired by Christen Souers LLC (Consider It Solved). One introduction from a Purdue friend created a whole chain of professional connections in Indiana.
I have had the pleasure of working with Dan for over a decade. When you need someone you can rely on? Dan makes it happen, all the time, every time.
