Daniel is a mission-driven financial and community development professional with more than 25 years of experience advancing inclusive economic opportunity. As Business Development Officer at MetaFund, he cultivates lending opportunities through partnerships with banks, credit unions, and community organizations. His work focuses on expanding access to capital for the “nearly bankable” segment— organizations who are close to qualifying for conventional financing but need additional support to grow and thrive.

Before joining MetaFund, Daniel served as Assistant Vice President of Multicultural Strategy at True Sky Federal Credit Union, where he was instrumental in creating a Community Advisory Board and leveraging a federal Technical Assistance grant to advance efforts toward achieving Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) designation. He also designed equitable lending products, coached minority- and women-owned businesses, and led financial wellness initiatives that addressed systemic challenges such as hunger, housing, and transportation.

A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Daniel served as an aircrew member on the AWACS platform during the Desert Storm conflict. His commitment to service continues in the community as Treasurer of the Greater Oklahoma City Asian Chamber of Commerce, Treasurer of the Oklahoma City Adventure District, and as a Board Member of the American Red Cross of Oklahoma. He has also served on numerous other boards and committees across the Oklahoma City metro.
