Daniel's Story

Life I can be reached by mail at 1240 18th Street, W. Des Moines, IA 50265, or phone at 515-771-3416 (mobile). I was pleasantly surprised at the recent West High Reunion how easy and comfortable it was to catch-up a little on the lives of many friends and acquaintances. A little life experience creates a lot of common ground above and beyond high school. Family stories were as prominent as work experiences and both were fun to hear. As for me, I'm the proud father of an almost 20 year-old daughter. She's thriving at the College of Saint Catherine in Saint Paul, MN. My daughter has the great fortune to look like my wife. Mandy is a business major with internship experience with SuperValu's national headquarters. She already thinks like an owner or manager. My wife is another Iowa State Cyclone twice over with an MBA degree on top of her undergraduate. She's a real estate project manager for CB Richard Ellis Trammell Crow in their national accounts division. The current client is Cisco Networking Systems. Lori's projects are scattered around the country from Detroit, Michigan to Seattle, Washington and San Diego, California with many in between. We've spent a lot of time in Phoenix and Dallas because of Trammell Crow projects and liked both areas. The travel from Des Moines...Expand for more
is a pain, but Lori is very good at what she does. I am an attorney by training but now count myself a recovering lawyer as business growth and leadership are my current focus. I get to work with some truly superior lawyers, accountants and business owners in building successful companies and transferring technology from the lab to the market. The coaching part of the work is fun, intellectually challenging and emotionally satisfying. It doesn't always work but you learn from your mistakes as well as your successes. Law is a great background and teaches problem-solving and negotiation. There is a creative aspect to law that is remarkably transferrable to business and other endeavors. I followed a mentor down one of those paths (thanks Dave!) and am having fun. For leisure we love home improvements and are serial remodelers. Our current projects are a 1960s ranch home and a 1920s lake cabin. Beyond that I still love music -- mostly Country and Blue Grass, but not exclusively. We love watching movies together and debating the merits. I can still get lost in a good book. And history, business and politics are all topics that fascinate and engage me. The time with friends and family is always too short. I think of friends more often than we meet so I'd love to hear from you.
