Here is the biography of Daniel Renshaw:
I became interested in finance when I was 16 years old taking accounting in high school. However, September 11th happened where I was a freshman so I had made up my mind to serve my country before pursuing college or any career inside the financial industry. I shipped off to be a Marine infantryman immediately after I graduated high school in 2004. During that time, I deployed to Afghanistan, where I took part in both the rescue mission for Operation Red Wings (the operation where Marcus Luttrell and the other Seals got ambushed, popularized in the book and film Lone Survivor.) and Operation Whalers, (the mission where we cornered and defeated the Seal team’s ambushers – Ahmad Shah and his army) where I earned a Navy and Marine Corps commendation medal with a combat distinguishing device. .
My second deployment was to Haditha Iraq where I was shot by a sniper through the liver while on patrol. I was 20 years old at the time and lucky enough to survive the wound even after losing about four liters of blood. I was offered a medical retirement from my injury but opted instead to stay and finish my enlistment. I got an honorable discharge in 2008 and immediately started attending college. While attending college I met my wife, and in order to support her and the two children we have now, I ended up getting a job at the refinery here in Denver while I continued my education.
After graduation, I started my career here with Edward Jones where I continue to partner with people in order to help them achieve what it is that is most important to them. I am a registered Republican and continue to speak at city council meetings all over the front range in opposition of policies that will hurt or limit our economic growth.
Representative Susan Beckman is the speaker at the NSRF (North Suburban Republican Forum) on Saturday, March 9.
