Dan Huish Enjoys Spending Time in Utah and Wyoming

Although he has lived and worked elsewhere, Dan Huish calls the Western United States home. Having run two businesses out of Salt Lake City, Utah (Huish Detergents and Huish Outdoors) and one out of Pinedale, WY (Wapika Ranch), Dan Huish has extensively enjoyed his time spent in these two states. Here’s why.

More relaxed pace. While many business leaders gravitate towards big cities like New York and Los Angeles, Dan Huish has found that the more laid-back atmosphere of the West has given him a unique perspective on both business and everyday life. Dan Huish thinks that while larger cities do offer significant drive towards innovation and constantly being on the move, smaller cities and rural towns have offered him the opportunity to see things with long-term vision.

Outdoor scenery. The natural wonder of the American West is unlike anything that can be seen in the rest of the country. From the soaring mountains of the Wasatch Range surrounding Salt Lake City to the rolling grassy hills of Wyoming, Dan Huish is thankful for the opportunity to spend time surrounded by land that has been less obviously touched by industrialization. The local geography has also encouraged Dan Huish to spend more time enjoying outdoor recreation.

Diverse opportunities. Utah and Wyoming may not be the most metropolitan of areas, but both states have offered Dan Huish multiple opportunities to branch out into areas of business that he might not have otherwise pursued. The outdoor-recreation focused culture of Utah (home to some of the country’s most popular skiing and hiking destination) encouraged Dan Huish to found Huish Outdoors. Likewise, spending time in Wyoming resulted in Dan Huish purchasing Wapika Ranch and starting a cattle ranching business. Beyond business, both of these states offer residents and visitors a considerable amount of options for recreationand leisure.
