Dan Estes, CEO, Starmark International, Inc.
A skilled entrepreneur and team builder, Dan is the architect of three of the fastest-growing, privately held companies in the United States over the past 25 years. Dan's first company, Starmark, Inc., became the first company ever named to Inc. magazine's list of the 500 Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies for five years in a row. Dan sold Starmark, Inc. in 1994, and relocated to South Florida's boating and fishing lifestyle in 1996.

After a brush with early retirement, he reopened Starmark International in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Now in its 26th year, the new, reborn Starmark returned to the Inc. 500 list in 2003 after a 16-year absence only to be named again for the seventh time a year later in 2004 - the third company to ever achieve this special Hall of Fame honor.

Dan decided to spin off OmniPilot Software, Inc. as an independent company in 2002, but continues to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. Dan holds both a bachelor's degree from Indiana University and a master's degree from Purdue University.
