God planted a seed for church planting in Daniel’s heart while he was in his teens and college years. He was privileged to serve his local church in the Phoenix valley for six years in areas of music and youth ministry. Daniel joined the Hope for Reno team while wrapping up a seminary degree and working in Christian camp ministry.

Daniel is passionate about music and worship. His family enjoys building relationships in their church community, and they look forward to seeing the Gospel penetrate the northwestern United States.

He and his wife Katie have enjoyed being parents to their two busy children, Nate and Evelyn. They enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors.
