Biography

Just about the time Capt. Moore was sailing through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch for the first time, Dan was a teenager, running his own IT consulting business in Seal Beach, California. That same year, 1997, U.S. News & World Report dubbed Dan a “mini computer mogul.” At 31, Dan is the youngest member of our Board and the latest addition. He aims to leverage technology to amp up Algalita’s fundraising efforts and cultivate a more international presence. “Technology is a tool—not a hindrance,” Dan says. Through his company Flashlight Technologies, Dan serves as the chief technical officer for his clients, which include nonprofits, health agencies and luxury goods retailers. Dan, a former volunteer firefighter, sits on the Huntington Beach Planning Commission and the Bolsa Chica Land Trust Board of Directors. In 2010, he ran for a seat on the Huntington Beach City Council and spoke out against the development of local wetlands for more “McMansions.” Just about the time Capt.
