Todd met Dan through his work.  Dan was also an employee at Citadel Communications in Oklahoma City.  When asked why he donates his time to acting on the board of directors, Todd says, “Throughout life we all have idols that we are only able to admire from afar.  I had the pleasure of working with one of mine for four years – Dan Lutz.  I have never personally interacted with an individual who had more courage than Dan.  He was a hero in the true sense of the word.  It is an honor to help continue the work that was so important to Dan.”

Debra Lutz Stutzman is a sister to the late Dan Lutz.  In her most recent position, Debra was the Web Education Manager for AOL Time Warner in the Oklahoma City offices.  She worked there for nearly six years.

Debra has earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Montana State University in Billings, Montana (1987); a Master of Business Administration from the University of Oklahoma (1994); and completed all her coursework for a PhD in Education from the University of Oklahoma specializing in Instructional Psychology and Technology.

As a sibling, Debra watched Dan grow from a shy and insecure young disabled man afraid to go out into the world to compete for jobs with able-bodied individuals to a confident and successful local celebrity who was well-respected by all who knew him.

Dan never used his disability as a means for “getting something” when many times he could have.  Debra says “Dan always led by example, in both his professional and personal lives.  He had wisdom beyond his years and his biggest dream was to help others and he wanted to start by giving back to the driving program that gave him his independence.  I’m working on the board so Dan’s dream comes to pass and he continues to inspire and make a difference in the lives of others – even beyond his untimely death.”

John has been serving the community of people with disabilities for most of his life. It was through this service, that he met Dan Lutz. John taught Dan how to drive a large van equipped with assistive devices John was a "Dan fan" prior to meeting Dan, as he had heard Dan on the radio for several years in the Oklahoma City market. Quickly, Dan became a huge "John fan" and he and Dan became very close personal friends. 

John says, "I am dedicated to the Dan Lutz Rehab Fund and what it stands for. I know that Dan understood the challenges faced by all individuals with disabilities and the importance that driving plays in giving them independence. I'm working with the Dan Lutz Rehab Fund to fulfill the dreams that Dan had for helping others with disabilities."
