More About Dan

Why Dan Joined Acumen.

I’ve been fortunate to be an Acumen Partner for 2 1/2 years, and have personally experienced Acumen’s direct positive impact on my business. I’ve also developed lifelong friendships with many incredible business peers. I was humbled to be asked to serve such a great organization and community as a Growth Catalyst in Kansas City!

Challenges Dan is seeing CEOs facing today.

CEOs today face a wide range of challenges, but I believe these two are the most significant:

1) Providing sufficient clarity around strategic decision-making

2) Building, engaging, and retaining high-performing teams

On a personal note...

How I recharge for the day.

I’m recharged when I stick to a consistent daily rhythm! I make it a priority to get 8-9 hours of sleep every night and am very regimented about going to bed and getting up at the same time every day. When I wake up, I take our dog out for an early morning walk and then exercise. To really set my day off on the right track, my wife and I always eat breakfast together, listen to Lectio365, and then pray together. 

Words that describe me best.

Achiever
Competitor 
Structured 
Consistent

Favorite activity after work.

Making dinner with my wife, then going on a walk and catching up with our kids.

NOT for people whose walk
and talk lack significant alignment.
