With 39 years of experience in the public safety industry, George Maris has built a career grounded in innovation, service, and leadership. He joined Dana Safety Supply in 2012 and now oversees all California operations as Regional General Manager. Prior to his career in the private sector, George served 14 years as a Deputy Sheriff, giving him a deep, personal understanding of the law enforcement community he continues to serve. George is also a recognized innovator—he was awarded a U.S. patent for developing one of the first vehicle wiring harness tables that replicated the precise layout of various makes and models. His invention dramatically improved installation times and quality for large-scale upfitting contracts by reducing wire waste and ensuring consistent, reliable connections. What continues to drive him is the enduring leadership and vision of Dana Safety Supply’s senior team—something he credits with keeping him focused, energized, and committed to excellence for his team and customers. When not at work, George enjoys spending time with family, golfing, and trail riding on four-wheelers and side-by-sides. While he has a love for woodworking, he admits it’s been a while since he last picked up a chisel.

Juan Fernandez has been a dedicated member of the Dana Safety Supply team since 2008, when he began his career in shipping and receiving at the Miami, Florida location. From the beginning, Juan stood out for his organizational skills and strong work ethic. His knack for warehouse operations led to a promotion to Inventory Manager, a role in which he traveled across the country conducting physical inventories and helping set up many of DSS’s new warehouse locations. Now serving as the Operations Manager in Canoga Park (Los Angeles), Juan enjoys the opportunity to plant roots and lead a team in one of DSS’s key West Coast locations. He thrives on the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of the role and is passionate about keeping the operation running smoothly and efficiently every day. Outside of work, Juan’s interests are as diverse as his career path. He’s a passionate music lover who enjoys the vibrant live entertainment scene in Los Angeles. He’s also an avid gardener with a special fascination for carnivorous houseplants, which he enjoys caring for and collecting. Juan’s blend of hands-on expertise and personal passion makes him a valued leader within the DSS family.

Chris Degioanni has served as Dana Safety Supply’s Regional Sales Manager for California since 2019. With a background in the automotive and racing industries, Chris brought his technical know-how and business acumen to a more stable field—one where he quickly discovered the profound impact DSS has on public safety professionals and the communities they serve. Though he entered the field without prior public safety experience, Chris’s passion grew as he realized the difference the right equipment can make. He thrives on the challenge of expanding DSS into new markets and has built a strong, like-minded team focused on service and growth. Outside of work, Chris and his wife stay busy raising two young daughters. A lifelong automotive racing enthusiast, these days he mostly chases after the kids—and finds time to hit the slopes with the whole family for some skiing adventures.
