Meet Danny
Our Shop Foreman
G & K Event Rentals is a family-owned and family-operated company. Many of our team members here are mothers, daughters, sons, fathers, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Being family-oriented not only means our teamworks together seamlessly with the same goals in mind but also that we can provide our customers with a genuine family atmosphere.
Danny Dauk has been with G & K for about 24 years, working and helping his parents’ business ever since he was young. At first, his duties consisted of helping his dad, Gary, with a few small things here and there, but, as he got older, Danny became more involved. “Right now, I’m the shop foreman,” Danny says. “I make sure that our customers receive the product they want, and I make sure they’re happy with it.” Customer interaction is a large part of what we do here. Every day, our team consults and works with customers, figuring out precisely what they need. We put 110% of our energy into making sure our customers are completely satisfied with the product they receive. “The best part of my job is talking and getting to know each of our customers,” Danny explains. “I really like seeing the excitement about their event and helping themmake their event exactly what they’re picturing. I meet a lot of nice people.” Although his work keeps him busy, Danny always puts time aside to spend with his family. “My wife and two children really help me unwind after a busy day,” he says. “Our son is 6 and has started first grade this year, and our daughter is 3 and is a little go-getter. We enjoy family outings, along with watching my nieces’ and nephews’ athletic games. I have 25 of them, so that keeps us pretty busy.” Along with watching family sports, Danny also likes sitting down to enjoy Vikings football and Twins baseball games. Providing our customers with family-oriented service is what we do here at G & K Event Rentals, and we couldn’t do that without fantastic and like- minded individuals like Danny.
