On stage, Daniel made an early impression with Steppenwolf Theatre Company in the premiere of The Ballad of Little Jo, alongside Judy Kuhn and directed by Tina Landau. His theater work also includes Miss Saigon, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings by Eric Whitacre, in which he originated the role of Fervio from its earliest workshop and later performed it in concert at Carnegie Hall. He also appeared in Hairspray at the Hollywood Bowl with a cast that included Harvey Fierstein, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Nick Jonas, Corbin Bleu, John Stamos, Drew Carey, Diana DeGarmo, and Darlene Love.

Daniel is the original creator, producer, and founding performer of The Company Men, a four-man vocal group known for its sharp musicianship, classic style, and contemporary energy. With the group, he headlined a Los Angeles residency, performed at venues ranging from Nokia LIVE to Jazz at Lincoln Center, and appeared on television programs across the country, including Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family.

Beyond performing, Daniel served as Interim CEO of The iCenter, leading it through its wind-down, and now directs external partnerships at OpenDor Media, an international educational media organization. Whether on stage, on screen, or in a room full of learners, his work is rooted in connection, story, and bringing people closer to something that matters.
