Daniel and Kassi Bacquet

Daniel and his wife Kassi have been married for over 20 years. They have 5 amazing kids – Tyler (26), Tannyn (19), Tayli (16), and their twins, Tavvi and Trax (11). Their oldest son, Tyler, is married to his wife Veronica, and together they have 3 kids – Presley (5), Knox (4), and Banx (1). Tannyn was recently married to her husband Asher. The family currently lives on the Central Coast of California where they have endless miles of epic coastline to score and enjoy year-round surf with world-class waves.

Daniel spent 12 years in the professional world in sales and project management, and over the last 9 years, he has served as an Area Director for the mission of Young Life on the Central Coast of California. The Lord called him out of Young Life, and as they sought His guidance and waited for doors to open, something incredible happened. Their passion for Jesus and their love of surfing as a family has come together in such an amazing way. Through God’s leading and a whole lot of prayer, Daniel will be coming on staff as the Chief Operating Officer for CSUS. Kassi will be partnering with him as he steps into this role to serve alongside the amazing CSUS staff and volunteers. They are so excited for the journey ahead as they serve as a family on a mission to reach surfers and surfing communities with the love and the hope of Jesus Christ.
