About

My name’s Daniel.
I write, I communicate, I explore, and I produce, shoot and edit video.
I’d be glad to put my talents to work for you.

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 now defunct 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. It was the most incredible experience of my life.

Now, I work at a call centre for GE Money, servicing credit cards for their HBC portfolio. I’ve recently begun work helping to establish the first site-wide newsletter. And on the side, I try to get involved in as much creative work as I can.

I live near Toronto with my Dad, and I’m in love with a girl named Kelly, who I’ve been with since 2006.

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.
