I am a seasoned banking professional with over 15 years of experience in the industry. My journey began at Wells Fargo in 2007, where I spent a decade honing my skills and understanding of the financial sector. In 2017, I transitioned to Security Savings Bank, further expanding my expertise. Since 2022, I have been a part of the First Interstate Bank team as a Wealth Advisor, contributing to their growth and success.

Born and raised in Hills, MN, I continue to call this place home. I share my life with my wonderful wife, Kala, and our three energetic children, Micah, Malachi, and Maybrie. Our family is a tight-knit unit, with sports being a significant part of our lives. As a sports enthusiast myself, I have had the pleasure of coaching basketball at HBC, and I take immense pride in my children’s active involvement in various sports activities.

Beyond my professional and family life, I am deeply committed to my community. I actively participate in numerous community organizations, believing in the power of collective effort and community. This involvement allows me to give back to the community that has given me so much.

In all aspects of my life, I strive for excellence and believe in the power of perseverance, dedication, and teamwork. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of the banking sector, coaching a basketball team, or organizing a community event, I am always ready to take on the challenge and make a positive impact.

When Dan isn’t busy with clients and volunteer activities, if you listen carefully, you might just hear him playing his guitar and singing.

Dan is a Principal for the South Dakota Group Benefits division. He joined SilverStone Group in 2006 and specializes in working with employers who have complicated funding arrangements and large, multi-site locations. His communication skills and relationships with the carrier and vendor marketplace help his clients to achieve the most competitive pricing and highest levels of customer service.

Dan knows that the best solutions are often a result of collaboration — both within our Firm and with our clients. He believes SilverStone Group makes a difference for clients by delivering sound, independent advice and helping educate clients about changes and new developments in the industry. Dan quarterbacks a talented team, rich with industry expertise.

I am the superintendent of the Luverne Public Schools.  I’m involved in several committees and on several boards in the Luverne community including:  LIFT (Luverne Initiatives For Tomorrow), Luverne Community Economic Development Corporation, Luverne Loop (Bike Path),  Luverne Consumer Council-Sanford, Rock County Opportunities, Governor’s Pheasant Opener, and the Southwest/West Central Cooperative’s Wide Area Network committee.  The Luverne School District completed a $31 million dollar renovation and remodel project adding a new performing arts center, new kitchen and commons, and 6 new classrooms.

I don’t think I got into CEO, I think CEO got into me.  The concept of the program was something I felt has been missing in our schools.  If we want to have creative thinkers and problem solvers, we have to put students in position to be creative and to solve problems.  I also believe that leadership is always needed in every community, field of work, and across the country. I feel that CEO will create leadership opportunities for our students.

My name is Theresa Stangle and I live in Pipestone, MN with my husband and four children. I am a doctor of physical therapy and I have practiced in the area since 2011 with specialties in sports and orthopedics. In 2022, I became an entrepreneur and opened my own clinical practice in called Re+Active WELLness in Pipestone. My husband and I also own a rental home business call Team Stangle Homes. We own the commercial building on Main Street in Pipestone called WELLness Square that we renovated as an opportunity for my own physical therapy practice, but also for other wellness entrepreneurs.

Outside of owning and operating our businesses, I love to be with my family and do anything active. I coach a JO volleyball team here in Pipestone and enjoy teaching the game.
