Who is Dan Mykeyev
Dan spent more than 22 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, including a decade in Canadian Special Operations Forces. Today he lives in Alberta, and his mission is to keep serving, now by helping people here at home.
- 1999
As a teenager, Dan immigrated to Canada from Ukraine in search of a future with more opportunity than he could find there.
- 2000
A year later, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces part-time, determined to serve the country that had welcomed him.
- After 9/11
He wanted to contribute on a larger scale. That commitment grew into a full-time career spanning the Army, the Air Force, and eventually Canadian Special Operations Forces, where he spent a decade in the elite community and deployed overseas multiple times.
- 2018
Someone finally ran an after-action report on his finances: “Here is what you have. Here is what it will take. Here is what happens to your family if you do not make it home.” After 18 years of planning for every contingency but one, Dan realized he was not as prepared as he had believed.
- 2023
After six relocations across the country and considerable time away from home, he shifted his energy toward family and building something lasting beyond the uniform. He retired from the military and opened his first office in British Columbia before moving to Alberta.
- Today
He provides financial guidance and brings solutions to Canadians across the country who are tired of nobody showing up for them the way they have shown up for everyone else.
