Daniel was born and raised in Hudson and currently lives in Hudson. He has been a Licensed Practical Nurse for the past 18 years and is currently employed at Columbia Memorial Hospital.
Daniel's love of theater started with his participation in every show produced from head start until his senior year at Hudson High School. His relationship with Upstage productions began with Jesus Christ Superstar. In 1994, Dan was cast as the Cowardly Lion, and he reprised the role 20 years later. His favorite role by far was Upstage’s production of Hairspray, where he embraced the role of Edna Turnblad.
In the Spring of 2022, Daniel made his directorial debut with the production of Steel Magnolias. He also has had the chance to work as a member of the stage crew for various shows and has now accepted role of Production Coordinator for the board of Upstage Productions.
Daniel says, “The theater is a great release for all involved and the relationships formed help to keep you humble.”
