Dan Meers goes to work each day like many other men, dressed in a suit. The only difference is that instead of wearing a tie with his suit, he wears a tail. You see, Meers is a professional mascot.

​

He began his career in 1986 at the University of Missouri – Columbia. Dressed as the school mascot, Truman Tiger, it didn’t take long for Meers to establish himself as one of the top college mascots in the nation. After finishing second in 1988, he was selected the nation’s #1 college mascot at the 1989 National Collegiate Mascot Championships. As graduation approached, Meers began to receive offers to use his talents at the professional level.

​

After graduating with honors, he decided to trade in his tiger stripes for bird feathers and began his professional career as Fredbird, the mascot for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. Although many thought his “bird legs” were a perfect match for his costume in St. Louis, Meers stayed only a short time. He was offered a job in professional football and decided to exchange his bird suit to become a wolf.

​

Today Meers is widely known as KC Wolf, the official mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs. He travels throughout the United States and the world entertaining thousands of people both in and out of costume. He is in high demand, not only as a mascot, but also as a humorous and motivational speaker to audiences of all ages. His enthusiasm, optimism and love for life are contagious and makes him an inspiration to all those he meets.

Meers lives in Kansas City, Mo., with his wife, Cam, and their three children, Mycah, Aaron, and Mallory.
