Dan is an experienced financial executive with a passion for leveraging his accounting and financial management acumen for the benefit of community organizations. In part due to his own experiences during adolescence, and in part due to observing service gaps in many communities for youth in need, Dan felt a calling to join Youth Rising as Chief Financial Officer, where he acts as a strategic business partner to the executive team as they seek to make data-informed decisions for the benefit of YR and the populations it serves.

Prior to joining the team, Dan spent nearly a decade leading finance and accounting departments of non-profit organizations, primarily those operating in the human services space. He has led mergers and acquisitions activities, spearheaded systems improvements, and engaged in grant applications and fee- for-service contract negotiations. After leaving the nonprofit sector, he served as Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller for a large e-commerce retailer, and later as a fractional CFO and Controller for nonprofits and privately-held companies ranging from $500,000 to $85,000,000 in annual

Revenues. Dan holds a BBA in Finance, is a Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and is consistently engaged in professional development and continuing education. Dan lives in Baltimore, and outside of work, he enjoys volunteerism, most recently having served on the board of directors of a human rights organization as both a director and an officer (treasurer). Beyond that, he has a kitten that keeps him occupied, he’s working on becoming fluent in Spanish, and enjoys car shows, races, and horology.
