About
I've built companies from nothing, run operations inside some of the most demanding corporations in the world, and spent the last 14 years as an Executive Pastor helping a church grow past 40,000 people a week.
Three companies. Two worked. One didn't. The one that failed taught me more than either of the wins did, and it's a big part of why I'm useful to the people I work with now.
I coach and consult in two worlds most people keep separate — business and the church — because the hard parts are the same in both: getting the right people in the right seats, setting a direction everyone can follow, building a culture that holds under pressure, and knowing what to do when things stop working. I live in Southern California with my wife Lori and our four kids.
What I'm known for: people selection & development · vision & strategy · culture building · AI strategy & deployment · growth & scale
How I help
Whether you're running a company, leading a church, or carrying both on your own shoulders, here's where I come in.
For founders and executives who are scaling, stuck, or figuring out what's next. Thirty years of operating experience, put to work on your actual situation: growth strategy, financial planning, culture, crisis moments, planning an exit, and putting AI to work for you.
For lead and executive pastors building something that lasts. Vision and strategy, growing without losing the culture that got you here, navigating crises, organizational planning, and using AI in ministry — from someone who's spent 14 years doing it inside a growing church.
For the leader behind the organization. We work on the whole person: the big career decisions, the hard seasons, marriage and relationships, and where you're headed next. Private, direct, and squarely in your corner.
Reviews
"A true leader empowers others through faith, wisdom, and example. Dan's strength is rooted in Christ, his heart is shaped by service, and his life is a beacon guiding others toward greatness."
"Dan sees what you can't see about your own leadership, then hands you the tools and roadmap to grow into it."
"My best decisions start with Dan. As the scale of my business choices has grown, so has the value of his counsel."
The process
A simple path, so you always know where we are and what's next.
We get the full picture — where you've been, where things stand, and what's really going on. (Tools like the Enneagram, DiSC, and StrengthsFinder help here.)
We build a clear, written plan with real milestones — not a binder that sits on a shelf.
We do the work on a steady rhythm, adjusting as we go.
We look back at what we accomplished, what we learned, and what comes next.
Insights
I share what I'm learning about leadership, growth, and faith in business — on podcasts, on stage, and most days on LinkedIn.
