Ready to ditch confusion and unlock your inner College Wizard? Dan (Opa) Reust is your Dumbledore!

After he received his BA in Economics and Statistics from the U of Colorado and his MBA from CSU, Dan spent decades geeking out on data and tech as a manager in healthcare IT, along with publishing short “Awwww” stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Now, in his impending retirement, he is on a mission to empower students with the magic of data and storytelling to craft their college applications.

Beyond that, though, he wants to lay a foundation for each student to understand their interests and strengths. This self-awareness leads to self-confidence resulting in better college matchs. His curriculum is thorough and current, including a work unit on responsible student use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The future is here now, even if Professor Flitwick might raise an eyebrow at AI.

Don’t wait for an owl post. Students must make the journey. No magic is required, just a guide.
