Dan Wilson, Center Director of Mathnasium of Glen Ellyn.

He is a recent recipient of the NISOD Excellence Award in Mathematcs, which honors the remarkable contributions of faculty, staff, and administrators who shape the futures of community and technical college students.  

Dan lives, eats, and breathes mathematics. To him, math is not just a subject, it's a verb. You can hear him say, "I can just math all day long." His favorite math course to teach is Geometry. There is even one Honors Geometry textbook that many schools use in the area that he has almost memorized from all the times he worked with students from that textbook. When he is not "math-ing," you can find him playing volleyball, indoor rock climbing, or training for the 15K Tough Mudder.
