Playing With Heavy Metal with Dan Rankin

About this episode

Dan Rankin discusses his entrepreneurial journey and recent recognition as Emerging Business of the Year.

Dan Rankin always knew he wanted to own his own business, he just didn't know what kind of business that would be. Then opportunity knocked – or more accurately, he knocked until opportunity opened the door. He joins Myles Dannhausen Jr. to talk about his journey from the shipyards to the head of Hi Tech Fabrication, where he was honored this week as the Emerging Business of the Year by the Door County Economic Development Corporation.
