   Since the age of 3 Daniel has held a pen, (actually at 3 it was a crayon, and he didn’t draw or write, he ate it), but still, he knew his passion in life.  Now the pen and smeared ink on his hand has turned into a computer and carpal tunnel.

   From the day Daniel was born he moved from town to town.   He called Southern California, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington State home.  Raised by a schizophrenic bi-polar mom and her crazy friends gave Daniel what he calls a diversified outlook on life.

   Born at UCLA hospital in Los Angeles California on March of 1966, Daniel spent the first 3 days of his life being filmed and studied by researchers.  It turns out Daniel doesn’t follow the normal sleep habits of the world and his REM sleep cycles are ‘very rare’.   Armed with abnormalities, Daniel spent his youth in and out of schools and his young adulthood in out of jobs.
  
   His mother separated from his father at age three and his two sisters, one younger by a year, the other older by five, left him early to live their separate lives.  At thirteen Daniel became interested in writing and began formulating the history of Aaronmere.  It wouldn’t be until he located in Port Townsend Washington State in 1984 and became friends with the legendary Jack Cady that his writing advanced.  Sixteen years later, Daniel met his love living in Montreal Quebec Canada, who inspired him enough to complete his first novel draft.
 
   Daniel currently lives in  Vermont and continues to write.
