Dr. Kiteck joined IWU in 2008. He was born and raised in Somerset, Kentucky. As a student he loved the Christian community of Asbury University, and he is now ecstatic about being a professor in the beautiful Christian community at IWU.

Dr. Kiteck teaches a wide variety of math classes at IWU with Modern Abstract Algebra being one of his favorites. Dr. Kiteck is married to Karen and they have children Nathanael (b. 2009), Cherish (b. 2011), Paisley (b. 2013), Zion (b. 2016), Dove (b. 2018), and Brightly (b. 2021).

From Dr. Kiteck:

"I love teaching at IWU because of the authentic Christian fellowship, the curious and fun-loving students, and being a part of such a high-quality academic community.

We have math alumni literally all over the world in the areas of education, government, and industry. One cannot go wrong majoring in mathematics-and not only in terms of one's future career, but also in terms of intellectual and personal growth. Mathematics literally touches on all aspects of life.

A few students who come to mind that I have enjoyed working with include Tyler (2011) and Kourtney (2017) in deep, uncharted-so never done before-mathematics, and I look forward to new adventures with students. I am proud of Tyler and Kourtney whose work was published (, and ).

In IWU's math classes, students have told me that they have been very challenged, but at the same time have had tons of fun. I have seen many math students grow close and continue in friendship beyond IWU.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (daniel.kiteck@indwes.edu) or any of our other math faculty."
