Daniel graduated from Clemson University in 2008. He started his FCA career as a Volleyball Area Rep in Orange County. In 2011, Daniel became the Director of FCA Volleyball throughout Southern California. God opened doors for him to lead huddles on the AVP and USA National team. Then in 2015, he took the basics of his volleyball ministry and translated it into other sports, as Daniel lead sports specific ministries in Southern California. Then in 2016, Daniel joined forces with Barry Martinez, as a Director in Talent Advancement for the Western Region.

Daniel and his team started an Internship Program that has influenced the nation and how internships are done within FCA. They’ve graduated 140+ college athletes and over 100 are still coaching and influencing the volleyball world! They’ve also pioneered ministry to club and travel sports and have innovated ways to empower coaches in the volleyball world. The impact of Daniel’s ministry to the volleyball community at the Huntington Beach Pier will hopefully continue through the handful of locals still loving and reaching the people there.
