Daniel grew up in Florissant, CO a small town outside of Colorado Springs, CO. He became a follower of Jesus in 2016 at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs at 21 years old. He pursued a lot of fitness-focused education (personal training certification, nutritionist certification, health sciences and nutrition courses, and physical therapist assistant licensure) while working part time as a campus ministry intern with the Colorado Springs Christian Church. His ultimate goal was to serve God and the kingdom in the full-time ministry, and that dream came to fruition in 2023 with his wife, Autumn, and his move to Seattle, WA. He continues to pursue his passion of strengthening the body and spirit of all those he meets.
