Duane Kuss (1954) is the son of an auto mechanic and a bookkeeper housewife. Born and raised in a blue collar suburb of Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota, he did everything from pumping gas, hauling sheetrock, and playing weekends in a rock band, to afford his way through college. Early in life he decided to become a twentieth century renaissance man, "A man for all seasons." Described as having lived 16 tons of life, he has experienced sixteen different professions over the past five decades. Throughout his career, he has been a visionary change-maker, entrepreneur and a master storyteller. Kuss, most recently, teamed up with co-author Don Calhoun to write a book series titled "Dance with the Elephant". This personal discovery trilogy includes: Life's Quantum Equation, Life's Cosmic Equation and Life's Revelation Equation. "I teach people to recognize their connection to everything around them even when society is headed the opposite direction." -Duane Kuss
