Dan Roche has attended Hope Church for more than 15 years and is excited to bring his branding and communications experience to the Hope staff. Before joining the team, Dan worked in the corporate world in marketing and manufacturing, and he believes God has used those roles to build skills he can now put to work for His purposes. A Wisconsinite for most of his life, he met his wife, Kristin, at UW-Madison, and together they have two grown sons. Over the years, Dan has been part of—and has led—Hope community groups, while Kristin has served in the band.

A late bloomer to the world of coffee, Dan now has his own espresso maker, bean canister, grinder, and espresso scale to make sure every shot hits the perfect 1:2.5 ratio. In his free time, he enjoys biking, racing go-karts, playing Monopoly Deal, and travel.
