ABOUT:  Daniel was born in Oceanside, CA but raised in Southwestern Minnesota. He moved to the Twin Cities in 2005 and lives in Minneapolis with his daughter and their sometimes well-behaved chocolate lab named Obie. Daniel is a Homes for Heroes lender who particularly enjoys helping those who work in Healthcare and Military Veterans because his mother was a nurse and both his parents were Navy Veterans.

EXPERIENCE: Daniel has been a Mortgage Consultant for over eight years. Prior to joining First Class Mortgage, Daniel practiced law full-time in the fields of business and immigration law. He remains very active in the Minnesota legal community as a licensed attorney and advocate.

OTHER THAN WORK, DANIEL ENJOYS: Spending time with his daughter, reading, writing, and traveling. Much of his time outside of work is spent coaching his daughter’s soccer and basketball teams. He loves going to Twins games when it’s warm out and watching Kansas Jayhawks basketball when it’s cold out.

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN GROWING UP? I wanted to be a journalist growing up. I love to write, read and do research work. This eventually morphed into me wanting to be an attorney.
