Dan served the County, managing the County’s banking relationship, ensuring successful transitions for County departments with billions of dollars of transactions over the years.  Additionally, he served County employees as a member of the Board of Retirement for the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association, ensuring the adequacy of the Retirement Fund, with assets of over $19 billion. He also administered the County’s deferred compensation program, providing additional retirement options for County employees, with approximately 13,000 active employees participating.

Beyond his one-on-one mentorship of countless individuals from diverse backgrounds, Dan has also demonstrated his commitment to empowering others through education. He has led the hosting of annual symposiums focused on financial literacy training for County staff and school district employees, covering critical topics such as cash handling and fraud prevention. Through these efforts, Dan has helped foster a culture of accountability, knowledge, and professional growth across our community.
