Meet Davis O'Connell, YPB Member

Davis O'Connell, YPB Member

Davis's heart is purple for all those who have been and will be affected by pancreatic cancer, particularly his fellow YPB members.

Now, for some fun facts about Davis...

Davis's favorite sports team is the Chicago Blackhawks. "The early 2000's were bleak, but with two Stanley Cups in the past five years, things have been going pretty well."

Davis travels almost every week for work, but, when he isn't on the road, he enjoys playing ice hockey on a local men's league team and golf. In the summer, he tries to spend "as much time as possible on a Chicago rooftop enjoying a good beer with friends."  He also enjoys wakeboarding in the summer, skiing in the winter, and is a lover of stand-up comedy. 

As a child, Davis aspired to be an astronomer. While he bailed on this idea in pursuit of a consulting career, he still enjoys reading articles and books on the subject. 

Davis is from Wilmette, IL and currently lives in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood.  He graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and works as a consultant in Accenture's Smart Grid Services practice.
