The Alumni Relations Office recently caught up with Daniel Kyle '95. Daniel received his Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from WCU. He currently works as a Business Development Manager at Chariot Solutions in Fort Washington, PA looking for companies that engineer with the tech stacks that align with the areas of expertise, find the right contact, and reach out to introduce the company and see if they are open to discussing in more detail about the value Chariot Solutions provides.

Dan shares that his favorite WCU memory was his first night at WCU. As a transfer student, just like the moment he started at the first school and knew it wasn’t for him, that first night in Ramsey Hall he knew he was “home”. He can literally still feel the elation felt hanging in the common area of the 3rd floor with all his new dormmates. It’s his favorite moment, because without it, the plethora of great moments that followed never would have meant as much as they did and still do.

Daniel has also run in marathons in Iceland, Canada, Amsterdam, and Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe was definitely one of coolest races he's done- the Victoria Falls Marathon. Participants run over the bridge and back, and then run 20 miles in a national park where wildlife if running free! Elephants cross the pack, giraffes, and you could even potentially see a lion! The coolest part was at mile 20, while running alone as the field had opened up by then, he saw a baby rhino cross his path not even 20 yards ahead. Thankfully the mother didn’t come through until he was gone because that could have been scary!
