Dynamic Variation:

 Dan Jonkman, CPA, MBA

Vice President of Finance and Administration
aka Finance Wizard

A mind for numbers, a heart for people: Dan leads both the finance and human resources functions for Experience Grand Rapids. (He performed a similar balancing act for Grand Rapids Symphony prior to joining us.) Dan’s favorite part of the job is working with the staff to generate and obtain approval for the annual budget.

Dan is a member of the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants (MACPA), Destination Marketing Association International (DMAI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

Bio Bits:

  • Recommends the Brazilian Black Bean Stew at The Green Well gastropub
  • Loves dark beer – especially Nitro Oatmeal Stout from Founders Brewing Company
  • Earned a BA from Aquinas College and an MBA from Grand Valley State University

Dan’s favorite travel companion is his wife Lorie and his favorite travel destination is Michigan’s Upper Peninsula – “partly because my favorite travel companion used to live there.”
