Bio
Jesse Johnson
Dan is a phenomenal teammate. He displays the best of traits through his character and integrity, and is deeply technical in a way I have rarely seen, but got to appreciate and enjoyed first hand. Dan Shires is truly a great person to work with and to know, and an asset to any organization.
Susan Stoffel
I really can't say enough nice things about my time working with Dan at Xcel Energy. He's an incredibly diligent and a very hard worker who is a huge asset to any team. If he doesn't know the answer, he'll research it. If he can't find the answer through research he'll find a way to get through it by trying different things out. He's the type of engineer you want to work with because he'll find a solution to the problem. He's also patient in teaching others and great at respectfully collaborating in a team atmosphere. He's also fun to work with outside of his great team contributions, I enjoyed working with him greatly.
