Daniel - CEO

Daniel was released from prison in April 2023 and is no stranger to post incarceration struggles as he has gone through this process serving nearly a 13-year prison sentence since he was a teenager.

While incarcerated, Daniel became a strong proponent of higher education, working as an educator to help his fellow prisoners acquire GEDs and other educational goals that were made available to the inmate population. He was also certified by AZ Department of Corrections as a Reentry Preparation Specialist in order to help prepare soon-to-be-released inmates with their reentry process. Because he wanted to “practice what he preached,” he has compiled many tutorial videos for soon to be released prisoners to use as resources. His videos are now being considered by AZDOCRR to be put on inmates' tablets as resources.

Daniel has written a book, founded this nonprofit, become involved in volunteer work and has been a strong advocate for prison reform. Beyond this, one of Daniel's proudest achievements is being promoted to Director of Innovation for Massey's Truck & Tank Repair.
