About Daniel
Leadership. Vision. Stewardship.
Planning Commissioner. Business owner. Community member. Candidate for St. Helena City Council.
I'm running because I believe St. Helena needs thoughtful leadership, a clear vision for its future, and a strong commitment to the stewardship of the community we have inherited and will leave to those who follow us.
That means creating a culture of open debate and transparency, listening to the full range of public opinion, and then doing the harder work of bringing those perspectives together into an actionable path forward. It means recognizing the real tradeoffs between what we want, what we can provide, and what we can sustainably generate. And through it all, protecting what makes St. Helena authentic and recognizable.
I am fortunate to have come to know St. Helena as the parent of three children who thrived in our public schools, a local business owner, youth soccer coach, Scout volunteer, president of Our Town St. Helena, Planning Commissioner (Vice Chair), member of the Infrastructure Task Force and Water Board, and contributor to our General Plan and Zoning Code.
Great places are built and preserved through a shared vision, strong partnerships, and a commitment to future generations. Together, we can shape St. Helena's future while protecting what makes our community extraordinary.
