Dan is a leadership and organizational researcher and consultant. He is in the process of completing his PhD in Organizational Psychology at Claremont Graduate University.
As a practitioner, Dan has extensive experience as a leadership development consultant, working to develop, administer, and manage various types of leadership assessments and other leader development tools. As a researcher, he also has numerous conference presentations and publications spanning multiple fields ranging from organizational sciences to public health. Dan’s current research focuses on how organizational leadership can utilize procedural fairness to navigate difficult change-related organizational decisions, such as whether to close or remain open during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic or whether to return-to-work in person after having previously established remote work during the pandemic. He is driven to understand how longstanding theory applies or changes with a backdrop of novel contextual circumstances. His research also covers the topics of psychological capital, organizational justice, and self-leadership. Dan is also an adjunct professor at Chapman University where he occasionally teaches statistics.
Dan lives with his wife and young daughter in Orange County. He likes to get up early, workout, and spend the evenings with his family. As a hobby, he enjoys finding and restoring vintage steel racing bikes from the 1970s and 80s, and then taking them for rides on the nearby Santa Ana River Trail.
