After finishing his undergraduate degree, Daniel earned his master’s degree from Pacific Evangelical School of Ministry (PESM) in 2011.

Since the age of six, he has been around seniors 24 hours a day.  His parents were live-in caregivers for an adult foster home and when Daniel settled in Eugene Oregon in July 2007, he began working at Grace Manor.  He enjoys being around seniors learning from them and improving their quality of life.  The caring and loving staff truly enjoy serving seniors with compassion and empathy.   He continues to work at Grace Manor today. 

Daniel first attended WCC in 2008, under the leadership of Pastor Chris Neilsen.  He previously pastored a church in downtown Eugene for 5 years and he continues to be a guest speaker at Romanian youth meetings in the Portland area.

Daniel has been married for 13 years to his “gorgeous, smart and hardworking wife” and they have 3 boys who are “very active, musical and extremely handsome.” 

In his spare time, Daniel enjoys cycling, kayaking, reading, gardening, fixing things and working with his hands.
