Daniel's passion for technical theatre stems back as far as elementary school, when he first took part in a school production of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.  Since then, Daniel has been active in productions through school theaters, community theaters, Broadway tours, and professional companies — and he has loved every minute of it! He believes that it is exhilarating to be a part of something bigger than you are; to work together with others towards a common objective. Daniel has earned an MFA in Theatre Design and Production from the University of Arizona and a BA in Media Arts from Chicago State University. He currently holds the positions of Faculty Technical Director and Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona School of Theatre, Film, and Television. His skills include (but are not limited to) Drafting, Carpentry, Mig Welding, CNC Toolpathing, Board Operation, and Run Crew experience.
