At MSU, he acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Studies. In these environments, he was able to develop skills including but not limited to: Acting, Dance, Choreography, Costume Design, Playwriting, Directing, and Stage Management. By participating as a cast member as well as working on production teams, he became well rounded in what happens on both sides of the process. After deciding to pursue his performance career, Daniel enrolled in the Intensive Professional Program at Circus Warehouse NYC and began daily training in different types of aerial, dance, and fitness. In this program, he had the opportunity to train with experts in their respective fields. His specializations are Aerial Sling and Aerial Hoop, but has also been formally trained in Rope, Flying Trapeze, Tissu, Single-Point/Static Trapeze, and Contortion. Daniel started performing in nightlife with various cabaret shows at venues such as Oz New Orleans and The Slipper Room NYC. As his career progressed, he then began to perform in larger-scale shows at venues such as Universal Studios Orlando and Madison Square Garden. Having also done private events, corporate gigs, and competitions, he has acquired the versatility to perform in many different manners of production. When not performing, he travels around the country and world teaching workshops and private lessons."
