Our Team

We have both the talent and passion to succeed.

Nick Carter

Co-Founder, CEO (and Farmer)

When Nick was 18, the consequences that consolidation and commoditization ("industrial food") had wrought on his family's farm forced Nick to look for a career elsewhere. He left his family's farm over a decade ago and built a career in tech startups. He launched several successful businesses. But, as they say, you can take the boy out of the country, but nothing took the country out of Nick. Today, his path in business has led him right back to the farm, but in a different capacity. Nick's innovations are creating deeper market penetration and distribution channels to the benefit of both small farmers (his dad's included) and the local-food consumers they serve. His tech-startup skills serve Market Wagon well as the company is constantly using technology to re-invent the local food supply chain.

Dan Brunner

Co-Founder, COO (and Resident Genius)

Dan is an experienced entrepreneur with a background in software, logistics, and order fulfillment. During the first dot-com wave 20 years ago, Dan became fascinated with possibilities of food delivery and online grocery shopping. Throughout his career, he has consulted and worked for several businesses creating and optimizing distribution and fulfillment systems for grocers large and small, culminating with a seven-year stint as a VP at Kiva Systems, which was acquired by Amazon. Then, in 2016, Dan met Nick. An "edu-ma-cated" midwesterner with engineering and MBA degrees, Dan brings a trained and analytical eye to the business and distribution operations at Market Wagon. Dan helps Market Wagon to create innovative and cost-effective solutions to local food sourcing and distribution challenges.
