Daniel Katz - Financial Planning

Personal:
Daniel grew up in the Los Angeles Area before moving to attend the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL to study for pastoral ministry where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Pastoral Studies. Daniel spent the first 17 years of his career in full-time ministry as a church planter, pastor and ministry leader. Daniel was driven to transition to a career in financial planning by

a desire to help people holistically. Without access to a trustworthy professional and sound strategies, good people get lost trying to navigate through all the noise.

To lead and empower others to make their goals and dreams a reality through purpose, clarity and design.
