Board Member
John Wright
With a tenured background in financial data, we’re glad he’s the one crunching our numbers! Dan fancies himself a jack of all trades, but his focus is on developing and managing data products. Beyond work, you'll likely find him outdoors, either savoring nature, practicing extreme sports, or working out to music in his garage—and definitely dancing about it. For Dan, movement is happiness, and music always guides his movements. He's passionate about providing accessible ways to experience the outdoors and find joy through movement and music.
