Since 1979, Daniel has worked with some of the highest caliber architectural and construction professionals in Los Angeles. Concurrent with earning an undergraduate degree from UCLA in Economics, he worked as a carpenter for many large contractors in Los Angeles, building museums, high rises, and public works projects. After earning a Masters of Architecture he then started his own firm, building the houses that he designed as well as projects designed by others. This early design/build company evolved into two separate corporations, Daniel Bernstein & Associates, Inc. and DB Builders, Inc. which act as the manager of development projects and the General Contractor, respectively.
