Bio
Christine Wohn
I have known Dan since I joined the KCBT staff in 2008. Having worked with Dan to streamline database functions and install disaster recovery plans for the Membership department, I find his patience and ability to explain technical concepts concerning systems processes to be truly impressive. He is a team player who is not only capable of managing projects and meeting deadlines, but also excels in prioritizing his responsibilities while simultaneously adding to his constantly growing list of things to do. Dan’s technical knowledge, strong work ethic, and ability to maintain his sense of professionalism under pressure are the qualities that have made him a reliable colleague and an asset to the exchange. It has been a privilege to work with Dan and any organization would greatly benefit from his expertise.
James Neville, Jr.
As a member of the Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBT), I have witnessed Dan challenge himself in the IT realm. I have seen Dan take on new challenges as opportunities fit the proper solution that met the needs of the project. Anytime I or any other member has had an IT issue, Dan was able to get to the root of the problem and resolve the issues. That meant even if he had to teach himself new technologies to provide a fitting solution. He always tried to go above and beyond our expectations as members. He has shown great leadership skills as a manager of his team by utilizing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. He did so to bring the team together and fulfill the needs of a project or issue. I feel that he would make himself an instrumental asset to any company.
