Early life, influence, education and career

Daly grew up in Southern California. He was abandoned by his alcoholic father at age 5, and orphaned by his mother’s death from cancer when he was 9. He was then placed in a foster home until he moved in with his older brothers, and then with his father, who eventually turned back to alcohol and died. By the time Daly was a senior in high school he was living on his own.

Daly experienced a Christian conversion at age 15 while attending a camp run by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He went on to study at California State University, San Bernardino, and eventually earned his MBA from Regis University.

Daly worked in the paper industry until he was recruited to join Focus on the Family at one-third of his six-figure private sector pay.
