Diane Wolfe is a certified meeting planner with a hotel & restaurant management degree from the University of Missouri. She began her career in the hotel industry, holding many positions that included: restaurant manager, bar manager, executive steward, banquet manager, and convention services manager, which provided her with extensive knowledge of hospitality services. This afforded her an excellent base of expertise that was vital in launching her career into the corporate meeting planning world. After five years as General Manager of a Kansas City based meeting and event planning company, she took the next step to embark on a new adventure in 2001 and KDW,Inc. was founded.

Kurt Wolfe began his culinary career at a very young age, and quickly moved into the professional field.
