17: Raising Up the Next Generation w/ Dan Keiser

EP. 17Today’s Guest is Dan Keiser, architect of the Keiser Design Group located in Columbus Ohio. 
My desire to become an Architect began at age 10, when asked by a friend of the family, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Without hesitation, I said I want to be an Architect.  After experimenting with many Lego structures, I was accepted to study Architecture at Kent State University. 
Another childhood dream from an early age was to start my own firm, which was realized in 1995. I love what I do and cannot imagine ever having to get a real job and going to work every day. Along with running KDG, I am a husband and father of three children. Being a Husband and Father is what brings me joy and satisfaction, but in my spare time I enjoy coaching, golfing, running, hunting and fishing.” – Dan Keiser
