About Daniel

How did I get to coaching?

Influenced by reading about superheroes, learning about world leaders, and being raised by incredible people, I have developed a sense that I can make meaningful change in the world, even in the face of impossibility. This is the perspective I bring to my coaching.

My educational background begins with a BA in Environmental Studies from the University of Delaware accompanied by minors in Organizational & Community Leadership and Spanish Studies. In university, I gained a passion for education and mentorship through various internship opportunities including outdoor education and time as a professional “funster”. After university, I took advantage of opportunities to live abroad in both Mexico and Taiwan where I started various businesses and started different projects focused on education, social justice, and climate change.

Today, I am living in Philadelphia continuing to invest in the lifestyle of my (and my wife’s) design. I enjoy spending time reading science fiction, listening to vinyl, going for long walks, and rock climbing.

"You are growing into consciousness, and my wish for you is that you feel no need to constrict yourself to make other people comfortable."

"To those who’ve survived: Breathe. That’s it. Once more. Good. You’re good. Even if you’re not, you’re alive. That is a victory."
