Executive Team
ClearSky Payments was founded on the premise that every business owner is a vital part of the community and deserves a fair, comprehensive and well serviced merchant account. After 20 years of owning and operating small businesses and having to switch processors multiple times due to misleading contracts, hidden fees and poor service, it became clear that there was a need for an agency that could offer more. We are dedicated to fulfilling this need.


Daniel holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of Colorado. Prior to starting ClearSky Payments, he co-owned and operated a wholesale fine jewelry business for 11 years. In addition to his dedication to ClearSky, Daniel enjoys time with family, a decades-long t’ai chi practice, and is an avid monoskier.

“Every day, with every company we serve, we work with our clients’ needs in mind. Our mission is simple: to provide the best, most cost-effective solutions at low rates and favorable terms with a dedication to personalized customer service. We believe this helps our merchants to better serve their customers. And it is our hope that this, in part, helps to create a better sense of community.”
