Daniel is an Alabaster native, having grown up in the city and graduated from Thompson High School in 2013. He grew up in the student ministry at FBCA and was a leader within the ministry during his high school days.

He began his graduate work at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary that fall and completed his Masters of Arts degree in Christian Education with a concentration in Worship Ministries in the spring of 2023.

Daniel accepted the call of God upon his life into vocational ministry during his senior year in high school and began serving churches in the area of Music Ministry following graduation. He has served at FBCA in numerous roles over the last several years and came on staff full time in March of 2017. Daniel's passion is music, but his purpose is reaching people for the sake of the gospel. Daniel's desire is to help create an environment within the local church that is conducive for true and genuine worship to take place, allowing the Spirit of God to move in and through His people as we gather together to lift high the name of Jesus.

In his free time, Daniel loves to read, spend time with his family, cheer on the Atlanta Braves and the Crimson Tide of Alabama, and officiate baseball and football.
