Daniel was born in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania in 1982 and while he only spent a third of his life there before moving to Ft. Pierce, Florida, he still considers the mountainous terrain of PA his home and hopes to return there one day. He began drawing at age 5 when he was first enthralled by a television series called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Since then he's specialized in cartoon and comic art, as he fell in love with comics such as X-men, Spider-man, and many other associated Marvel favorites. About 6 years ago, his style changed radically when he first encountered a small anime series by the name of Tenchi Muyo! Since then he's been captivated by japanese animation and has gained and insatiable desire to watch more and more of it. As his love of anime grew along with his knowledge of it, his style, originally highly influenced by Hitoshi Okuda's Tenchi Muyo! manga, and Rumiko Takahashi's Ranma 1/2, began to take a different direction as he studied a variety of work from other manga artists including Kosuke Fujishima (Ah! My Goddess), Yukito Kishiro (Battle Angel Alita), and Ken Akamatsu (Love Hina). Since then, he's continued his studies of more and more manga artists as he seeks to constantly improve his skill as an artist. He knows that, though he's come a long way, he still has an excruciatingly long road ahead of him before he can feel satisfied with his own ability. Eventually, he hopes to put his artistic talents as well as his own skill at writing to use, in an effort to create animated series, comics, full length novels, and eventually screenplays. This is, of course, if his multiple plans for world domination fail to succeed.

In addition to his artistic talents, Daniel is also an accomplished writer and actor having won awards in all three fields. In his time off in addition to drawing, he enjoys playing video games of which he has been hooked on since the original NES. He watches anime and reads manga from his beloved library of which way too much money has gone into which will ultimately result in him being turned into a bum. He runs two table-top RPG's with his friends, The Scrapyard which is based off of Battle Angel Alita, and Cowboy Bebop. He also participates in many others. And finally he spends the rest of his time just letting his imagination run rampant for hours on end.

Daniel gets a kick out of writing bios in the third person, and he sincerely hopes that everyone enjoys the comic.
