Dan Fugardi
Business Builder in Los Angeles, California
From the east coast, the south, now the west coast: primarily NJ, FL, TN and HI. Started my professional life as a nuclear engineer, served a term in the Navy. Spent my earlier years in California redeveloping parts of DTLA in several capacities and created "add-on" community initiatives, where I would design supplemental components that supported the profitability & sustainability of initiatives.
I've produced in entertainment, both live and on screen, mostly which had an underlying humanitarian driver.
Fortunate to be a part of many residential and commercial real estate deals throughout my career. My alliances are with the most respected authorities in the industry.
Ran a spending intelligence company that we designed to create higher targeting and efficiency in the B2C cycle, resulting in new value for consumers, businesses, and banks.
I work with several companies at different stages of growth. I started F22 Growth Advisors to serve as an intersection between the various avenues of growth through our group and resources. F22 is very selective and offers a unique performance-based structure in which we only get paid if we succeed at our mission.
In everything I am involved with, I am most proud of a concept (now company) I seed-funded, called Mana Pacifc: an alternative energy company that is freeing the Pacific Islanders from fossil fuels via creatively financed solar development.
I love life and I'm a big thinker. My ultimate aspiration is to find a way to redirect money created as a result of higher efficiency systems into a global infrastructure that serves important needs around the world. Issues would be solved in heavily underserved areas while the model maintains business sense for the associated countries. My goal is that a powerful self-sustaining machine might be left behind when I am gone.
Outside of business I fly planes, play hockey, like to explore when possible, and take a mentor role to several who might benefit from my past experiences. Conversely, for those ahead of me in life, I'm always seeking wisdom and mentorship whenever the opportunity is available. I care immensely about people. Business or personal, making relationships with the right people in life is a top priority of mine. Once that is established, I am always here to help.
