Dan:

Dan Waggoner was born and raised on a farm outside the small community of Waggoner, Illinois, where he developed an appreciation for agriculture, history, and the traditions of rural life. Before beginning his accounting career in 1996 as an auditor with KPMG, formerly Peat Marwick, Dan spent four years living in London, England. Today, he serves as Controller for Central Garden & Pet in Madison, Georgia. 

Outside of work, Dan enjoys fitness, historic architecture, and the preservation of historic places. His passion for historic architecture led him to purchase Slade Hall, a historic home in downtown Eatonton, in 2020. He also enjoys exploring different cultures, appreciating good food, and discovering the stories behind the places he visits with his partner, Will Deller. 

Dan is excited to step outside his comfort zone and participate in Dancing with the Lake Oconee Stars, bringing a spirit of adventure and fun to the dance floor while supporting Circle of Love and its mission to serve survivors of domestic violence and their families.
