Dean Furness Biography

Dean Furness is a data and analytics professional.

He now speaks about his experience and what it takes to face difficult challenges.

Furness continues to train for marathons and aims to inspire others through a positive approach to owning each day. He is a husband, a father of three, and a basketball coach.
