Daniel was born and raised in Athens, GA and moved to Knoxville in 2019 after spending a year of mission work in Kenya.  

Daniel is a Graduate of Toccoa Falls College after completing a Bachelor Degree in Ministry Leadership with focuses in Youth Ministry and Biblical Theology. 

In his free time Daniel can be found spending time with his wife, Christina and Son, Maverick, playing golf, and studying God’s Word. He also enjoys watching sports, participating in outdoor activities, and traveling cross-culturally. He has traveled to over 15 countries and plans to add many more to that list with a heart for spreading God’s love to unreached nations. 

Daniel’s biggest goal is to leave a Legacy of Acts 20:24 “I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish my course and complete the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the good news of God’s Grace”

Daniel is eager to carry out Emerald’s mission and help raise up Godly Leaders in the community.
