 Dan Blomgren opened his first business in the retail liquor industry at the age of 23 upon graduation from the University of Kansas. Over the course of the next twenty years he opened a total of four more wine stores. By the time he sold the stores late in 2008 he had risen to one of the top retailers in Kansas. The only occurrence that took Dan away from his drive to succeed was the diagnosis of a rare liver disease of both of his young boys. Dan donated the left lobe of his liver to his son, Miles, over a decade ago. Aiden, his youngest son, received a cadaveric liver almost ten years ago as well. This very personal experience gives Dan a unique perspective to the mission of ODTAA.
