After graduating from Hamilton College in New York with a Bachelors Degree in Theatre and Directing in 1988, Dan Kinkade moved to Manhattan to pursue a film and video career in a small production company in SoHo. In 1989, Dan moved to St. Louis to develop his career in film/video production. From 1989 to 1995, Dan worked in many different capacities of film production from Production Coordinator to First A.D. He also worked as a Location Scout for the St. Louis Film Commission, taking Producers and Designers around the Mid-West for personal tours of film locations.

In 1995, Dan established himself as a creative and talented location scout and manager. His knowledge and experience in the field gives him a unique ability to interpret a script and visualize the location possibilities for every project in which he is involved. For example, in the 2006 feature film "Meet Bill", Dan managed a team of scouts and secured over 50 locations for the 3 month shoot. In 2007, Dan helped "The Lucky Ones" secure Lambert International Airport, among other locations, that shot 400 Extras inside security for 6 days. Due to his 20 plus years of experience and his professional manner, Dan developed a strong network of connections that included "film friendly" location owners, security & police contacts, caterers, support services, etc. 

In 2007 Dan relocated to Philadelphia and has started a film location database in PA. He is based out of Malvern, PA, approximately 30 miles west of Philadelphia, and can provide location services for both downtown Philly and throughout the Main Line and western Philadelphia suburbs. 

To date, he has location managed over a hundred TV commercials and a dozen features.
