Dan Lofrese became involved with the Community Foundation in 2017, when he joined the Professional Advisor Council (PAC).  He became an Advisory Board member in 2020, an Investment Committee member in 2021, and a Board Trustee in 2023.  Dan worked with Jim Webster – one of the CFNN founders – for 17 years before his own move to Reno in 2015.

Dan graduated from Fordham University in 1999 and earned an Executive MBA from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) in 2018.  Since 1998, he has worked for Gabelli Asset Management Company (GAMCO), a diversified global financial services company with assets under management of $32 billion. 

Dan’s interest in education is further evidenced by his involvement as a Board Trustee for the UNR Foundation. He is also a Foundation Board Member for Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC). Similarly, for both, he serves as an Investment Committee member. 

Dan and his wife, Camellia, opened their donor-advised fund at the Community Foundation shortly after their move to Reno. He and Camellia were married in 2018 and have two daughters.
