Daniel's practice is client-centered and he loves looking for answers that others may not see, refusing to settle for the expedient solution, but asking the right questions to help chart a course towards his client's most heartfelt desires.
One of his early mentors said of him:
"Dan naturally sees systems. He understands how one thing flows to the next; how every step is related to the outcome."
An avid scuba diver, Daniel holds the credential of PADI IDC Staff Instructor. He has helped many tentative students learn to breathe underwater by gently coaching them past their fears so that they could experience an entirely new world in the sea.
When Dan teaches he helps the students who feel like they are underwater in class to learn to breathe and swim again.
