Daniel Edward Beeman

Dan Beeman: from jumping out of perfectly good aircraft as a US Army, Airborne Paratrooper in Germany to diving more than 300 feet as a deep-water SCUBA Instructor in the Caribbean; Dan Beeman has shown remarkable range in his life pursuits.

At the tender age of 50, he went back to graduate school and earned his Masters of Hospitality from UNLV where he studied tourism with a specialization in Sustainable Tourism. He wrote his final research paper on the Implications of Pickleball for the Hospitality Industry. 

The conclusions of the research: resorts and clubs that have either tennis or basketball courts and they do not add pickleball are not maximizing potential revenue or their asset value. They are also losing market share, group travel and growth opportunities.

Beeman seized upon this knowledge and his background in driving new revenue through creative sponsorships, partnerships and events; by launching his consulting practice to help his clients succeed.

He has also recently written a screenplay for a buddy comedy about two former tennis champions who met in a historic, infamous singles finals at the French Open in 1980. In 2020, they are now partners in pickleball traveling the country in an RV attempting to reclaim their glory.

He is the owner of the Pickle Palace based in Palm Desert, CA.

He wrote, Deep Dive – Existential Essays for Personal Transformation. A practical, philosophical exploration of existential issues for mankind to help introspection and transformation.
