Greetings and thanks for visiting my website. My name is Daniel Funk and I’m a Professor and Ed Rosen Senior Research Fellow at Temple University and Associate Dean of the School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management.
The focus of my research is sport marketing, sport management, and sport tourism. My research investigates consumer experiences in order to help organizations understand customer acquisition, retention, and expenditure
Through my research collaborations with colleagues and graduate students, I have published multiple academic papers, books, and chapters and participated in funded research projects. We have developed the Psychological Continuum Model (PCM), The Team Association Model, The Fan Attitude Network Model, and The Sport Experience Design framework as well as various measurement tools including the Sport Interest Inventory and SPEED to assess consumer motives.
I earned my PhD and Master’s degree from The Ohio State University and my bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas. I have worked on the faculty at Griffith Business School, Gold Coast Australia, at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Louisville. Prior to becoming an academic, I worked in recreational sport and event management.
