Dan VanEekeren is the Vice President of Purchasing for Vanee Foods. Founded in 1950 in Chicago, Vanee Foods remains family-owned and managed. Dan grew up in Glen Ellyn and attended DePaul University earning his B.S. in Accounting and Finance.   After living in Elmhurst for more than twenty years, Dan has recently relocated to Hinsdale.

His enjoyment of live theater was sparked by his first Broadway experience “Starlight Express” during a childhood family vacation to New York City.  Dan especially enjoys live music and ranks Phil Collins and Coldplay as his favorite concerts (though he may be a secret Swiftie!).

Dan is the proud father of three children.  In his free time he enjoys boxing, traveling, collecting bobble heads (more than 75!) and supporting the Chicago White Sox, Blackhawks and Bears.
