He was head of the Baseball, Softball, Swimming, and Volleyball teams, but also worked extensively with Football, and helped with Basketball and Soccer.

Along with training hundreds of collegiate athletes, and the 2005 NCAA National Championship Volleyball team at the UW, he has trained professionals of all backgrounds ranging from Mixed Martial Arts competitors to Olympic Snowboarders. He’s held numerous clinics and seminars for youth of all sports, performed instructional training seminars for personal trainers, organized and facilitated strength and conditioning coaches’ clinics, organized summer baseball camps for kids, and is a part-time columnist for STACK magazine (articles written appear in April 05, Oct. 05, Nov. 05, Feb. 06). Most recently he was the Director of Training and Education at Endzone Athletics, where he established and operated countless programs for high school athletes. He is also the author of the ‘College Preparation: Manual for Athletic Success’ which is a workbook designed to prepare athletes for college athletics.

Daniel is the Program Director and Lead Facilitator for two programs in a non-profit organization called the Think Big Foundation. One program, The Athletic Performance for Life Program (which he created with Joel Jamieson, the owner of Endzone Athletics), is a sports conditioning and development program for high school students which is focused on life skill development, athletic development, and academic development. The Life Coaching and Mentorship Program (which he also created) partners with University of Washington and brings Husky Athletes to local middle schools to help prepare 7th and 8th grade athletes for high school.
