Daniel provides organizational leadership and direction to The Porter House KC. He is a native of Kansas City, MO, and graduated from Bishop Hogan High School. He has worked in both for-profit and not-for-profit sectors in the past 14 years and has started, owned, and operated 5 businesses, including The Porter House KC. Dan’s affinity for the not-for-profit sector, and specifically helping underserved populations started roughly 20+ years ago when his mother exposed him to the importance of helping others. This experience gave him a deep appreciation for the not-for-profit work being done in underserved communities of color and fueled his drive to help those in need.

One of Miranda’s biggest values is creating and sustaining personable relationships. While Miranda rarely enjoys the spotlight, she silently leads by action with the intention of building connections in every room she is greeted in. Miranda attended Simpson College in Iowa, where she graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with minors in Sociology and Human Services. As Project Manager in Porter House KC, one of her main job duties is reconnecting and bringing together the alumni that have previously participated in the PHKC cohorts. If Miranda’s not at the PHKC spot, you can catch her enjoying a cup of coffee, playing pick-up basketball, or finding a new walking trail.
