Meet Dan
For those of you that don’t know me yet, I’m a former economics professor, a father of two, and as of almost six years ago, one of your elected Glendale City Councilmembers. I live in the beautiful Niodrara Historic District just north of Verdugo Park, and I, like you, can proudly say that I love Glendale. I’ve been fortunate. I grew up in a secure and caring environment. I attended Brown University as an undergraduate and Johns Hopkins as a graduate student. I found good jobs in banking and finance, including a long stint with a large US tech company setting up and running business operations in Asia.

Adapting to the future while preserving the things that make Glendale special
Building on our environmental successes while upping investments in climate adaptation; honest strategies to keep utility rates in check.
Confronting the growing threats from the Trump Administration; pushing back on efforts to mislead and divide us here at home.
