Northwest Foundation Board Member
Board member since 2026
Dannen is a Partner and CPA at Merrill, Espey & Washburn, P.C., with a deep commitment to the Maryville community. Throughout his career, he has had the honor of serving in several civic leadership roles, including as Maryville Councilman and Mayor, as well as Treasurer for both the Downtown Improvement Organization and the American Legion Boys State of Missouri.
His passion for community and leadership traces back to his college years, where he was actively involved in Phi Sigma Kappa, the Homecoming Executive Board, and the Order of Omega. Outside of his professional and civic life, Dannen is a proud husband to Taylor, who serves as the Head Spirit Coach at Northwest, and dad to their son, Carter. And, twins on the way!
“I have always had an interest in serving organizations that have contributed to my development and Northwest ranks high on that list. While there are many ways to serve Northwest as an alumnus, I look for ways that play to my strengths in the finance world.”
