Founder & Principal Consultant, DP Human Capital Management LLC
(he/him/his)

Hi, I’m Del—an HR consultant with a practical, hands-on approach and over 20 years of experience helping businesses build strong, compliant, and people-focused workplaces. I’ve worked across a wide mix of industries—consumer goods, tech, luxury travel, publishing, and more—but the common thread has always been helping small and mid-sized companies thrive through smarter HR practices.

I got my start in the late ’90s as an Executive Assistant and Office Manager, eventually becoming a one-person HR department for a fast-growing robotics and healthcare company. From there, I climbed the ladder—Manager, Director, VP, Chief of Staff—and finally took the leap to start DP Human Capital Management in 2018. My goal? To give business owners the kind of clear, no-fluff HR support that helps them focus on growth, people, and purpose.

I’ve partnered with:

• • Start-ups and family-owned businesses
  • U.S. branches of international companies
  • Teams of two and warehouse operations with hundreds of employees

What they all needed was the same: HR that works—policies that make sense, practices that reduce risk, and systems that support both people and performance.

Beyond HR, I also bring experience in operations, legal admin, facilities, accounting, tech management, and even ultra high net worth lifestyle logistics. HR doesn’t operate in a silo—and neither do I.

I’m also proud to be:

• A U.S. Air Force veteran and recipient of the Air Force Commendation Medal
• A former member of The White House Communications Agency (Presidential Service Citation)
• SHRM-Certified (SHRM-CP) with a Master’s in Human Resource Management
• Chair of the Coachella Valley Chapter of PIHRA (2025)
• A board director for SoCal Adaptive Sports, advancing inclusion for individuals with disabilities

Outside of work, I love travel, classical music, and gym time—and yes, I’ll absolutely show you photos of my cat, Jasper, if you ask.
