Daniel Hotujac Vice President of Sales

Daniel entered the financial services industry in 2015, selling life insurance. After some time, he decided to pivot – taking his knowledge of marketing, selling and running a business to the other side of the table, and he joined Advisors Excel. As a member of Team Excelerate for close to a decade now, Daniel has been a part of many different advisors' growth stories and witnessed countless production ceilings be shattered just by spending time around the right group of other advisors. His favorite part about his role is working with advisors on their "new world marketing" strategies, client experience, and better leveraging AI in their practice.

Behind the Scenes:
Daniel has been married to his wife, Olivia, since December 2018, and together they have 2 wonderful children, Cooper and Mila. Daniel attended Washburn University and obtained his bachelor's degree in sport psychology, while also playing collegiate baseball. After graduation from Washburn University, Daniel joined Advisors Excel, while also attending the University of Northern Colorado, where he earned his master's degree in sports administration. Daniel has always had an entrepreneurial mind, and a passion for sports and business. Together with Olivia, they own two local businesses in Topeka, and both actively serve their church community.
