Daniel was born in 1983 in Riverside, Ca, and was raised in a Christian home. From a young age he and his family began attending Harvest Christian Fellowship till about the age of 11, when they made the switch to Calvary Chapel of Moreno Valley. Although he attended church regularly and looked the part of a Christian he didn’t have a genuine relationship with Jesus. So for the next ten years he lived a very sinful and ungodly lifestyle with a few failed attempts in between at a genuinely Christian life. It wasn’t until after hitting an all-time low at the end of 2004, when God began to call him to Himself once again, that Daniel finally surrendered to the Lord in the beginning of 2005.

From that point on Daniel abandoned himself to the Lord and began studying, praying and growing deeply in the Lord. Taking many opportunities to serve God in missions trips, local outreaches, children’s and Jr. High ministries and also High School ministries were he met his wonderful bride Kristen Noel, who also was actively involved in serving the youth. Shortly before being married in April of 2008, God called Daniel and Kristen to start attending Calvary the Brook, where they now together lead the High School youth ministry.
