A Message from our Founder and CEO

Danijel Velicki

I came to the U.S. as a 17-year-old immigrant kid in 1995 with a vision of the American Dream in my heart and Coolio on my Walkman. I had just $40 in my pocket at the time. That’s it. I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I wasn’t going home and this had to work. I know what’s possible. You can come from nothing and become something. I’ve lived it.

It takes the right support system, people you can trust to answer the tough questions, and a commitment to never giving up.

I want to be sure every person in this country gets the same opportunity I did and has access to a team of people that are truly invested in their everyday success.

When I’m not dreaming up better ways to make sure the people around me have access to everything they need to win at life, I’m at home with my family. My wife, Melissa, is everything to me, and providing the very best that I can for our children – daughter, Maja, and twins, Ella and Noah – is my life’s purpose. I love CrossFit, Shawn Mendes (don’t hate!), and visiting my Mom back in Croatia as often as we can.
