Dan Crumrine

Senior Land Acquisition Specialist

Give us a brief overview of your role.

I am a land acquisition agent, so I work in many different US and Canadian markets and travel across the country. I engage with landowners and stakeholders to explain opportunities, build connections, and negotiate agreements such as leases and easements.

What is the most memorable moment you have had working for GSI?

Our recent company team-building events have been really memorable to me, especially since I live in Pittsburgh and don’t get to interact with my co-workers in person often. It has been nice to get to know everyone a little better and on a personal level. These events have truly strengthened the company culture and allow us all to feel more comfortable with each other.

What led you to a career as a land agent and what have you found rewarding from working in the renewables sector?

I got a geology degree in college and started working for a large service operator in the oil and gas industry. Then, I got the opportunity to do land work for a local land broker, and this is where I realized I had a knack for it. Soon after, the renewables industry started to expand very quickly and I was able to join Saturn Power, which was acquired by GSI in 2023, as a land agent. What I find exciting about the renewables sector is that it’s a very fast paced, growing industry with a lot of opportunities and investment potential.

Tell us one interesting fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know.

My wife and I are very excited as we’re expecting our first child – a little boy – any day now.

How do you spend your time outside of work?

I spend as much time as I can outdoors. I love hunting, fishing, and camping – these are my passions and what I love to do.

What is one thing you’d like to cross off your bucket list? 

I really want to go on a moose hunting trip in Alaska.
