Daniel earned a bachelor's degree in technology education and a graduate degree in biology. In addition, he is a graduate of the Discovery Institute Summer Seminar, an intensive training in science, philosophy and intelligent design. This unique educational background has opened doors for him in various professional careers including graphic design, industrial design, line art, information technology and healthcare. In addition, since 2009, he has taught biology and technology at the college, high school and Jr. high levels.

While biology and technology may seem like a strange duo, he sees them as compatible. They give him an eye for designs found in nature, designs that point to the Creator. This unique background helps him have answers to secularism and Darwinism. He also founded www.iApologia.com, a platform where he writes on Christian apologetics and worldview. He speaks at various venues and conferences where workshops and presentations include topics that range from science and faith, Intelligent design and creation, Christian apologetics and Christian worldview, social issues, and pre-college preparation. Daniel also has been part of starting and leading a local Ratio Christi chapter, a university campus apologetics club.
