Dan Kumok

Dan Kumok may have entered the Webb Schools as a new junior, but he wasted no time leaving his mark on the Webb community. Artem Borisov (‘20) describes Dan as someone who “pursues his goals” and “takes leadership” especially when others have lost their motivation. Dan was the captain of the CyberPatriot team at Webb, a club which competes in cyber security competitions, and helped lead his team to a Platinum Tier victory. During his time at Webb, he enjoyed playing soccer and working hard at academics. Dan is a language enthusiast; he studies Russian, English, Spanish, French, and some Arabic, as he believes each language is more than just speech, it’s the motivation and history of a culture. His favorite book is Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol because of its interesting commentary on the Russian character. Although he will miss the California weather, Dan will be attending Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar next year, where he will study Business Administration.
