In the industry for the majority of the past two decades, Daniel has experienced the breadth of contracting work as well as the rising and falling shifts in the economy. In the past six months, his business efforts have been strongly headed towards value-add apartment remodels, and he currently owns an 8-unit building, industrial building, and an office building along with some other properties in his portfolio. Joining the GoBundance community means Daniel can surround himself with like-minded positive peers that will pull him up. He is a strong believer in that the people you surround yourself with have the most effect on your behavior, and he is looking forward to joining the conversation— to offer his experience and practical knowledge of major renovation projects, and an opportunity to take in new ideas and opportunities. Daniel graduated from UCLA and quickly broke out on his own after working a conventional accounting job at a big firm. His outlook is that he would rather fail on his own and learn from the experience than stagnate in an unhealthy environment due to someone else’s actions. Grateful for his upbringing, his parents instilled the values of integrity, honesty, and hard work which still guide his life. Daniel and his wife have three children together aged 14, 10, and 7. Above all else, he wishes to become the best husband, father, and professional he can be. From a business standpoint, Daniel is looking to obtain financial freedom to comfortably cover living expenses, freeing up income to eventually buy properties and remodel communities. Eventually, he would like to live on a ranch in Montana, Idaho, or another mountain state.
