As a young child growing up in New Jersey, Daniel was a budding gymnist. On a vacation to Florida his grandfather introduced him to ice skating at a small rink in a local shopping mall. Later that year Daniel and his family moved to Florida and at the age of 9, he began taking figure skating lessons.

Daniel has long admired Scott Hamilton. He is inspired by Scott's work ethic, pure joy of skating, and strength of character.
