Dan Wiley
Dan Wiley is a Knights of Columbus Field Agent with the Raso Agency, serving brother Knights and their families in Southern Arizona. Dan has been a member of the Knights of Columbus for just a year, but heard a calling to serve, and followed that calling. He has already become active in his parish, supporting Lenten Dinners, St Patrick’s Day Celebrations, and more.
Originally from St Paul, MN, Dan attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Campus. Dan didn’t have a career planned out in attending college, so took the courses that piqued his curiosity. Subsequently, he earned a degree in philosophy and a minor in religious studies. During his college years, he took a semester off and travelled to Europe. He ended up in Rome over Easter Sunday, and saw Easter Mass delivered by Saint John Paul II. Ultimately, Dan converted to Catholicism in 2015 at Nativity of our Lord Catholic Parish in St Paul MN, and was baptized alongside his son—a special memory they shared together.
After graduating from University, Dan knew that entering seminary was not in the cards but was unsure of his next steps. He took a job selling cars, and quickly came to the realization that he had a great strength in understanding people and their wants and needs. He was promoted several times in a short period of time, and within just a few years he was the sales manager of a luxury dealership. After spending a little over twenty years in the automotive industry, and becoming a General Manager, he heard a calling to service, and joined the Knights of Columbus, and became a Field Agent..
Dan and his wife, Stefani, are recent Tucson transplants and are parishioners at St Thomas the Apostle. They have one son Elijah at Catalina Foothills High School.
While Dan is not working, he enjoys hiking, tennis, golf, and getting out in the beautiful Arizona sunshine.
