Hi, I’m Daniel Wallem, Assistant Supervisor of Public Works for the Town of Normal, IL. I have a strong passion for innovation and efficiency.Currently, I work directly with our Waste, Sewer, Streets, Fleet, and Engineering teams, where I work to advance the departments individually and Public Works as a whole.With over 16 years of managerial experience, I have supervised operations in construction trades and lead teams responsible for millions of dollars in sales per year.My skills include business operations, project management and implementation, and leading teams within diverse business cultures.Over the last few years, I have been working to technologically improve our Public Works department by aiding each department head in creating new programs to maximize efficiency. Outside of work, I enjoy home renovation projects with my wife and spending quality time with my 2 boys, Decker and Booker. I also have a passion for teaching and developing youth athletes through coaching my son’s baseball and basketball teams. I believe in shaping our youth and work force to be better leaders than we aspire to be. Don’t be afraid of the work it takes to make your vision a reality. I often tell my son’s “We are Wallem’s, and we do Hard Things”. This guides my work and interactions with others.Looking ahead, I aspire to advance my career in the public sector and serve my community by leading our teams to meet their highest potential while modernizing our current strategies.
