The U.S. Postal Service has announced that Danilo Pasion Jr. has been selected as the new postmaster of Lake Elsinore.
In his new role, Pasion will oversee more than 70 employees who provide delivery service to nearly 17,000 delivery points across 32 routes, as well as retail services and services to more than 1000 P.O. boxes.
“Being a postmaster is an honor for the community and myself,” Pasion said. “Working together in the post office is very important for success. An office cannot succeed with just a manager. As a team, we accomplish more for the community and our employees.”
Pasion began his postal career in 1998 as a rural carrier in Escondido. Over the years, he has steadily advanced through various leadership roles. In 2017, he was promoted as supervisor in San Marcos, followed by a promotion to supervisor in Temecula in 2018. He has held positions as an officer in charge in Sun City, Perris, Temecula, Murrieta, and San Jacinto.
In May 2024, Pasion was promoted as Mountain Center’s Postmaster and then to Lake Elsinore in August 2025. He is currently running operations and overseeing renovations at the Murrieta Station and Distribution Center.
Pasion holds an associate degree in general studies from Southwestern College. He is a 4th-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate and volunteers as a martial arts instructor in his free time.
