Being born and raised in a small town, Excello, MO, obtaining his BA in Christian Music Education, and a long history of teaching/youth ministry there was rarely a mention of scuba diving anywhere.
But one day in 2013 the call/opportunity came for him and his wife to move to the Cayman Islands as a music teacher. Instantly falling in love with the ocean, he soon gained interest in doing everything the water had to offer. Upon completing his 1st dive Daniel was hooked! By the year of 2016 Daniel achieved his instructor certification. Still loving the island life, but wanting to be back in the United States, Hawaii became the #1 obvious choice.
Presently working at Island Divers, Daniel loves the ability to allow others experience the beautiful waters of Hawaii. He likes that he gets to meet various people from all over the world and is excited on seeing what else he can achieve being an instructor at Island Divers Hawaii.
