Hi there! I’m Daniel, a financial coach, proud military officer, commercial pilot, and lifelong student of financial discipline and growth.
After more than twenty years of military service — including four deployments and multiple leadership roles — I learned that every mission succeeds or fails on one thing: having a plan.
Like many people, I once juggled bills, credit cards, and car payments, wondering why hard work didn’t translate into financial progress let alone success. When I decided to take command of my own finances, I applied many of the same principles I live by in uniform: structure, accountability, and focus. Following Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps, I eliminated debt, built wealth, and became a Baby Steps Millionaire.
That transformation led me to complete Ramsey Solutions’ Financial Coach Master Training, where I learned how to turn real-world experience into a framework that helps others succeed. Today, through Mission Summit Coaching, I help individuals and families gain clarity, confidence, and control of their money—so they can achieve true financial freedom and peace of mind.
When I’m not coaching, I’m outdoors, traveling, or flying. Those moments remind me that real freedom isn’t just about money—it’s about commitment. Helping others reach that level of freedom is what Mission Summit is all about.
