From its humble origins operating out of the Omaha home of Doug and Anne Carlson, Hometown Hero Appliance Repair has grown to be one of the Midwest’s most trusted names in appliance repair. Today, under the leadership of Todd Daganaar, Doug and Anne’s grandson, we have extended our award-winning service to new cities by request of dealers and manufacturers. Yet even as we grow, we maintain local ties to the communities we serve, so that we may truly be “Your Hometown Hero.”

Leadership Team

Todd Daganaar, President

Todd has been fixing appliances since he was two. He has been fixing appliances successfully since he was about 16. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, majoring in religious studies and focusing on Sanskrit and Indology. He has a wonderful wife, two dogs (one of which is also wonderful), and two objectively amazing daughters.

Enrique Espinoza, Vice President

Enrique (Rico) Espinoza Jr. laughs his way through the day, making a broken appliances a mere speed bump for his customers. As the VP of service, he truly takes ownership of the customer experience, and making sure we never compromise on customer service or workplace culture. Nothing gets him down, and he can fix anything you put in front of him. Truly, he is a character and a joy to converse with.
