For over 30 years, Dan Meers has brought joy, laughter, and energy to fans as KC Wolf, the beloved mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs. As the first NFL mascot inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame, Dan has entertained audiences across 40+ states and 12 countries—both in and out of costume!

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.
