Dan Wheeler

During the Spring semester of 1974 Dan Wheeler hosted his first radio show on his college campus radio station in Springfield, MO.  That was his first taste of “live broadcasting” and thirty- five years later Dan has logged more than 10,000 hours of live television.  That’s more than Jay Leno and David Letterman combined.

For the past 20 years, Dan has been one of the top hosts for the number one electronic retailer in the world, QVC.  He has interviewed hundreds of superstars from the world of sports, entertainment, politics and industry.  His long list of interviewees includes Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Cal Ripken, Jr., George Foreman, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Bob Hope, Charlton Heston,  Morgan Fairchild, Smokey Robinson, Michael McDonald, Martina McBride, Senator Bill Bradley and hundreds of others.

Most of Dan’s work on live television has been without the aid of teleprompters, cue cards or scripts.  Having done this for so long he is able to take a director’s concept and bring it to life, without a script, in one or two takes. 

In 1999, Dan authored a book entitled, Best Seat in the House in which he chronicled many untold stories of sports legends such as Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, George Foreman and others.  In the book he draws the life lessons he learned observing them both in the spotlight and away from the cameras.

Dan is also a dynamic public speaker who weaves fascinating stories of legendary athletes, performers and inventors to communicate powerful spiritual truths.  His years of live tv have given him a unique ability to connect with an audience and inspire them to live each day to it’s fullest!
