About Daniel Pego

I\'m a Builder - and it started with a box of LEGO bricks.As a kid, I built small cities. Today, I build people, performance, and purpose. The curiosity I had about how pieces fit together grew into a lifelong fascination with how systems work - and how the people behind them work even better when they\'re supported and challenged.I believe the best operations don\'t just run smoothly - they grow the people who run them.I set clear expectations, coach for mastery, and support individuals as they build confidence in their craft. I recognize strengths others might overlook and help people connect the dots in ways that make them more capable, more proud, and more reliable in their work.My passion is developing teams who take ownership, operate safely, and deliver results that last. Whether in a classroom, a power plant, or out in the field, I build systems that work - because they\'re powered by people who believe in what they\'re doing.Developing people. Delivering results. That\'s what I build.The best operations don\'t run - they hum. Behind every safe and reliable facility is a team that feels connected to a bigger purpose. What drives me is helping people and systems perform at their best so the lights stay on, the water stays clean, and our communities thrive.I\'ve spent my career teachining, and leading in the world of facilities and utilities. I\'m committed to developing the next generation, and I\'m at my best when I\'m helping others see how the pieces fit together. I focus on adaptability, empowerment, and building a zero-accident culture - qualities that have helped my teams earn multiple awards for excellence.CFM- Certified Facility ManagerSFP- Sustainability Facility ProfessionalFMP- Facility Management Professional
