My name’s Daniel. Communication is my specialty.
I refine raw knowledge, package, and deliver it.
It can come in writing, on camera or in person.
I work as a Customer Service Trainer for Capital One and am Editor of our office newsletter. I was responsible for creating and co-executing the training plan for Canadian customer service representatives on the HBC Credit conversion from GE to Capital One systems.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism from Ryerson University in 2009, specializing in Broadcast. During my time at school, I worked as a manager at Lick’s, a fast food burger restaurant. I also spent six weeks as an intern at Global TV during the 2008 Canadian federal election campaign and the Toronto International Film Festival, chase producing their Toronto morning news program.
Shortly after graduating, my cousin told me he had decided to buy a Greyhound bus pass and explore North America. A few weeks later, we were headed west with our backpacks. We spent the next six and a half weeks taking it all in as we made our way as far west as Tofino, BC then down to San Francisco. Not having time to save much money, we mostly slept in parks, forests and beaches. A few times, we had the luxury of spending a night in a hostel or the home of a friend we made on the road.
My interests include exploring, writing, shooting video and pretty much anything to do with the outdoors. Above all else, I value life, love, truth, freedom and the present moment.
