With nearly 30 years of project experience spanning from the vast complexity of LAX Airport to the nuanced elegance of multifamily housing, Dan Kessler brings a distinct creative vision to his role leading Otak’s national architecture practice. His journey began with a deep-rooted love of art, eventually finding its form in architecture while continuing to nurture that original passion throughout his career.
As an Honorarium Instructor at the University of Colorado for 11 years, Dan cultivated a teaching philosophy centered on empowering individuals to discover their own paths to professional success. That same commitment to mentorship and knowledge-sharing shapes his leadership style today.
Dan’s well-rounded expertise combining thoughtful design, precise technical detailing, and strategic project management has a direct influence on delivering impactful work. These qualities contribute toward guiding our shared mission of designing elevated environments that enhance the communities we serve.
Casey built his design skills early on, laying out plans for a mansion when he was just a kid and taking that passion to drafting classes in high school and onto college. He enjoys the collaboration that working at Otak affords him and seeing how a group can come together as a well-oiled machine to achieve project goals. Casey is quick to mentor new co-workers and takes that same coaching to the community where he coaches youth sports. In his spare time he works on the ongoing restoration of his 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and spends time with family.
