Personal:
Daniel grew up in the Los Angeles Area before moving to attend the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL to study for pastoral ministry where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Pastoral Studies. Daniel spent the first 17 years of his career in full-time ministry as a church planter, pastor and ministry leader. Daniel was driven to transition to a career in financial planning by
a desire to help people holistically. Without access to a trustworthy professional and sound strategies, good people get lost trying to navigate through all the noise. Daniel works with his clients to implement simple strategies now that will allow them to meet their goals and be tax-efficient years down the line. His personal mission statement is:
To lead and empower others to make their goals and dreams a reality through purpose, clarity and design. Daniel currently resides in Long Beach, California, with his wife of 16 years, Autumn, and their four children: Samuel, Aiden, Canon and Aria. Autumn Katz was Mrs. Long Beach 2017 and is currently a speaker, a coach, and serves as Associate Director of Career Development for Northwestern Mutual. During Daniel's free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and being involved with his kids’ activities, such as coaching their baseball, basketball and soccer teams. As an LA native, he has grown up as a diehard Lakers, Dodgers, Rams and Kings fan. Daniel and his wife Autumn also give much of their time to their church community as they look to make a difference in their city and beyond. Professional:
