How did he get here?

In the broad strokes, Daniel’s entrepeneurial efforts began at age 12, when he manufactured and sold rubber band guns to neighborhood children (a business toppled by the infamous eye incident). In the same year, he developed a strong interest in early microcomputers, though his first technology experiences with mainframes and punch cards. In 1994 (before the internet revolution), he began providing e-mail, network services, and consulting out of his home and, from that time forward, he was never without his own business. He also spent time in landscaping, writing and publishing, sales, teaching and corporate training. Working with a large number of Mortgage Broker clients, Daniel has developed a further interest in financial instruments in general (mortgages, insurance, retirement, annuities, and other investments).
