Director

Dan is the CEO of Office Information Systems in Oakland, California. His firm provides IT management consulting and network support for a variety of organizations and businesses in the Bay Area, including nonprofits, legal service providers, school districts, and small businesses. Celebrating its 25th year, OIS enables a wide variety of organizations to implement their mission with technological solutions.

Dan first became involved with AMIGOS in 1997 when his daughter announced her intention to become a volunteer, and his first response was, "You have no time!" She thankfully ignored him and went on to experiences in Costa Rica and Honduras, and later his son volunteered in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

Dan has been involved in AMIGOS chapter assistance and technology planning and implementation and currently serves on the Development Committee. In addition to serving on the International Board, Dan is active with the East Bay Chapter of AMIGOS. With his wife Mila he participated in two AMIGOS board trips, to Paraguay and Costa Rica.

Dan grew up in Fresno, California, with a BA from U.C. Santa Cruz and an MA from the University of West Virginia. He lived in Indonesia for one year as an exchange student after high school, and after college volunteered two and one-half years in the Philippines through Volunteers in Asia. He says, "My credibility shot way up in my role as appropriate technology volunteer when I started building Lorena stoves, and for that I very much appreciate the hands-on and immersive nature of the AMIGOS volunteer experience."
