Daniel has been telling stories and teaching others to tell stories for more than ten years. After leaving the San Francisco Bay Area, where he was born and raised, he taught creative writing for three years while working on his MA in Creative Writing at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Daniel then spent the next few years in marketing and advertising, helping companies deliver their messages. Although he's not a therapist, his mother is. (Doesn't that count for something?) In 2003, Daniel joined the StoryCenter staff as our first non-local member, based in Denver, Colorado. He specializes in developing projects that explore the impact of digital storytelling for youth and within the health sector, and has also done considerable work with local museums and radio/television broadcasters.
