Dan Smedstad
Founder & Publisher, GetToolRank
Dan Smedstad has spent 35+ years as a petroleum landman, negotiating oil and gas leases and running title across 12 states. He still does.
Since 2023, he's also been a hands-on student of all things AI. He puts AI to work across his own businesses, and GetToolRank ranks the tools for people in the same seat: business owners and working professionals who need results by Friday and don’t have time for hype.
Dan is based in Katy, Texas, where he also publishes KatyScoop, a local news and events newsletter, and KatyHomeServices.com, a local home services directory. He’s a referral partner with Dreams Business Resources through DreamsBusinessAgency.com.
GetToolRank is a publication of iSurge Media.
