Daniel Gansberger

Chee Gansberger was a computer programmer in the IndyCar series and the Silicon Valley who decided one day in September, 2001, that he’d rather jump out of airplanes and blow things up. After years as a special operations forward air controller including numerous deployments as a front-line operator, he ended up first in traditional acquisitions and then in the innovation scene. After helping usher in modern software reform while part of DIUx as their first "Warfighter in Residence," he then moved to AFWERX, as a software evangelist trying to bring innovative use of software to the warfighter. He's now a program manager at Second Front obsessed with bringing America's greatest economic asset - capitalist driven software development - to augment his love - warfighters in the Department of Defense.
