Brief Biography

Daniel is a husband, father and pastor who is always learning more about what it means to love & follow Jesus in the everyday and in-between, and seeking to help others do the same.

Daniel and his wife work to awaken and unleash the God-given dreams of each member of United, the church community in San Diego they are privileged to co-pastor.  United believes that God has not given up on the world.  Together, they are learning what it means not just to attend church, but to be the church for the broken & hurting and to participate in God’s work of reconciliation & redemption in the world.

Daniel serves on the Board of Directors for both Justice Ventures International, a non-profit organization working to eradicate human trafficking, ensure access to justice for the oppressed, and empower the urban poor by strengthening local justice ventures around the world and The Ecclesia Collective, a local grassroots network of missional communities here in San Diego.

Born & raised a Michigander (and, therefore, a longsuffering Lions fan), Daniel has lived on both the east and west coasts of the United States.  Daniel is a music fanatic, indie rock in particular. Daniel has written for relevantmagazine.com and freelances in graphic design.

Family

People are always asking Daniel how he ended up marrying such an amazing, cultured, funny, intelligent, beautiful and godly woman. He has no idea, but counts himself extremely blessed!  His wife is still oddly fascinated by the strange ritual two Michiganders will go through when meeting for the first time – using their right hand as a map of the state and using their left hand to point out where their hometown is located.

They have one daughter, who lights up their home with her smile and electrifying dance moves. Sometimes Daniel will catch her singing Regret by New Order while she’s brushing her teeth.  Whenever she hears I’d Rather Dance by Kings of Convenience, she asks if they’re going to have a dance party. And they always do.
