Daniel's passion for technical theatre stems back as far as  elementary school, when he first took part in a school production of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.  Since then, Daniel has been active in productions through school theaters, community theaters, and professional companies — and he has loved every minute of it! He believes that it is exhilarating to be a part of something bigger than you are; to work together with others towards a common objective. Daniel has earned an MFA in Theatre Design and Production from the University of Arizona in May of 2022 and a BA in Media Arts from Chicago State University in 2018. He is currently the Assistant Technical Director at the Paramount Theatre (Aurora Civic Center Authority) in Aurora, Illinois. His skills include (but are not limited to) Drafting, Carpentry, Mig Welding, Sound Design, Lighting Design, Board Operation, and Run Crew experience.
