The founder
Dan Ketelsen built this from 30 years in hospitality.
A husband and father of two daughters, Dan is originally from Iowa and has been back home for many years. He's a professional musician who spent three decades with a Fortune 100 company in an elevated hospitality role, where client care isn't an afterthought, it's the entire job.
Throughout that career Dan maintained a perfect driving record. Zero incidents. When he saw an opportunity to bring that hospitality standard to vehicle transport, he founded SelectDrive LLC, owner-operated, with Dan personally behind the wheel on every job.
