Dan joined AIN in 2009 and heads our consulting services division and is responsible for AIN operations.
Dan is a deeply skilled not-for-profit organization leader with almost thirty years of executive experience leading a variety of not-for-profit organizations. He has served as Executive Director for the San Mateo County Food Bank, the Sonoma Land Trust, the Sonoma County Bar Association, and most recently at the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation, an organization dedicated to taking a multi-stakeholder collaborative approach to restoring a critical Northern California environmental resource.
Dan grew up in the Sacramento Valley, literally at the urban-rural edge with dairy cows grazing next door to his family’s suburban neighborhood home. He is a graduate of Santa Clara University with an honors degree in Political Science and a minor in Economics. He also holds a Masters degree with honors in Nonprofit Business Administration from the University of San Francisco. He lives in Sonoma County with his wife and teenage daughter (after sending her older sister off to college), and is an avid gardener.
