On November 23, 2013, Dan Meers came within inches of losing his life while practicing a bungee jump and zip line stunt at Arrowhead Stadium… home of the Kansas City Chiefs. What Dan anticipated being the thrill of a lifetime ended up being the spill of a lifetime. The stunt went terribly wrong and Dan plummeted 75 feet before crashing into the stadium seats. Miraculously Dan survived. He spent 9 days in the hospital and got some really big scars. Dan smiles when he says, “Scars are just Tattoos that come with a Cool Story”. During this powerful presentation Dan shares his incredible story and the important lessons that he learned during his long road to recovery about leadership and about life.

It’s been said that if you ask a man his occupation you will find out how he pays his bills, but if you ask a man his preoccupation then you will discover the passion of his life.  Dan Meers has a rather unique occupation.   For over 25 years he has paid his bills by working as “KC Wolf” the mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs.  However, Dan’s preoccupation, what he is truly passionate about is encouraging others to strive for the best in life and to enjoy it each and every step along the way.  Dan believes that your life is like a Coin.  You can spend it anyway you wish but you will only get to spend it one time, so spend it wisely.  During this presentation Dan shares some of the valuable lessons he’s learned during his long career as a professional mascot.  Whether at home, work or in the community, Dan challenges his audience to live each day to the fullest by wisely investing their lives and not just spending them.         

Dan also offers a variety of programs for churches and faith based organizations.  These programs center around Dan’s faith and the importance it plays in his life.  Dan strongly believes that “God didn’t put us on earth to make a living, He put us here to make an impact.” These programs are designed to challenge and encourage others to put their faith into action.

Dan served as the men’s pastor at his church for two years and he has a passion for men’s ministry. He enjoys speaking at men’s conferences and retreats where he encourages and challenges men  to be godly leaders in their homes and communities.

Dan’s wife Cam is a Marriage and Family therapist and together they enjoy speaking at retreats and conferences aimed at strengthening marriages and families.
