Board of Directors
The Noble Front Foundation is governed by a diverse body of leaders with decades of experience in emergency services, high-precision agriculture, and non-profit management. Our Board of Directors provides the strategic oversight and professional stewardship necessary to ensure every resource is used to uplift our heroes and protect the family farms that feed America.
Daniel Wolfe
Founder and President
Daniel Wolfe is a seasoned leader with over a decade of experience in high-stakes operations, emergency response, and team command. He served as a wildland firefighter from 2011 until his medical retirement in 2022 due to a line-of-duty injury.
Throughout his career, he held advanced leadership roles including Squad Boss on a Type 2 Initial Attack crew, Incident Commander Type 5, and Engine Captain Trainee. Known for his decisive leadership and operational discipline, he also volunteered locally during the off-season, further exemplifying his lifelong commitment to service.
Raised on a working farm in Idaho, Mr. Wolfe brings a unique combination of agricultural familiarity and mission-driven leadership. His experience spans logistics coordination, risk mitigation, personnel management, and field strategy in some of the nation's most challenging environments.
Following his retirement from the fire service, he founded Noble Front Foundation to continue his commitment to public service in a new form. He is a certified FAA drone pilot, a public speaker on resilience and post-traumatic growth, and a strong advocate for veterans and first responders navigating career transitions. He resides in Idaho with his two children.
Jorge Macias
Vice President
Jorge Macias is the Vice President of Noble Front Foundation, where he brings a rare combination of policy insight, nonprofit leadership, and firsthand agricultural experience to the organization's mission. His role bridges field operations, educational development, and strategic communications.
Born in Boise and raised in Idaho's Magic Valley, Jorge grew up surrounded by the realities of farm life: long hours, tough conditions, and a deep respect for the land. That upbringing built the work ethic and humility he carries today.
Now based in North Hollywood, California, Jorge combines his rural roots with his training in public policy and digital media to help guide Noble Front's growth at both the ground level and the executive level. He holds a B.A. in Psychology from California Lutheran University and also holds a Master's from Pepperdine University in Public Policy.
His background includes policy research for the County of Ventura, field coordination for international outreach programs, and over a decade of experience in media production and nonprofit development.
Josh Soto
Director of Training and Outreach
Josh Soto served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps, rising to the rank of sergeant and serving as both a rifleman and combat instructor. With over a decade of experience supporting fellow veterans in their transition to civilian life, he brings both firsthand understanding and professional expertise to his role.
During multiple overseas deployments, Josh served with distinction, gaining a deep understanding of the mental, physical, and emotional toll that service can take, especially for those returning with PTSD or injury. After his military service, he committed himself to helping others navigate that same journey.
At Noble Front, Josh leads recruitment and support efforts for the disabled veteran and first responder training program. Leveraging his extensive military network and strong community presence, he connects with veteran organizations, rehabilitation centers, and first responder networks to identify candidates ready to rediscover purpose through mission-driven work.
Josh is a devoted father and role model to his children, who inspire his continued service to the veteran community. He believes that real healing starts with purpose, and his role at Noble Front ensures that veterans are not just supported — they are seen, equipped, and empowered.
