Daniel spent his childhood in Hawaii, Florida, and Texas before settling down in upstate New York. He fell in love with the North Country while pursuing degrees in Environmental Science & Policy, Environmental Engineering, and Political Science at Clarkson University, and delved deep into the Adirondack-to-Algonquin Corridor. Over the next several years, he worked with the Student Conservation Association in Alaska, the Excelsior Conservation Corps across NYS, and the North Country Children’s Museum as their Science Educator in Potsdam, before joining Save The River in late 2023. In his free time, Daniel enjoys volunteering with the St. Lawrence Land Trust, gardening with his family at their home in Gouverneur, experimenting with random personal projects, and going on imaginary dice-fueled adventures with friends and family.
