Daniel grew up in the suburbs of Utah where he met his wife in the third grade. Reading fantasy has always been his favorite pastime, as he habitu- ally maxed out the number of books allowed on a single library card. Writing his own fantasy books was merely a dream until he met a fellow fantasy author who challenged him to finally write his own stories. The prologue of Awakened birthed the trilogy, The Lightbearer Chronicles. Daniel plans to keep writing and publishing as much as he can in the future, as writing is currently his favorite hobby.
Daniel attended Brigham Young University to study Linguistics and has a passion for foreign languages. Just after graduating with his bachelor degree, he began and completed an M.B.A. from Western Governors University within a year.
When he is not writing, which he’d happily do full-time, Daniel enjoys spending time with his wife and five children on their homestead in rural Idaho, gallivanting with goats and chickens.
