Daniel was born outside of Atlanta, GA but moving with his family has lived in Florida, Nevada and eventually settling in southern California where on Palm Sunday of 2006, after a life deep into the world, he heard the gospel and everything was changed. Devouring his Bible and being blessed with many opportunities to fellowship with mature believers God grew and developed Daniel. God revealed His call as a pastor to Daniel in 2007 and after fighting God’s design for a while he surrendered to his Father’s will and loves every minute of it. Daniel volunteered and served as an intern with his church in San Marcos for 3 years while attending Calvary Chapel Bible College, Murrieta. Just before graduating in May 2010, The Lord answered Daniel’s prayers for direction in service when a good friend told Daniel to email us at VCC. Opening doors and guiding hearts, God planted Daniel at VCC officially as the youth pastor in August and so far it is going great. Daniel’s passion is for helping believers to be developed and encouraged towards full commitment to following Jesus Christ through God’s gift of His Son, His Spirit, His Scripture and fellowship in the body of Christ and for sharing the awesome gospel because, “If God can save me and use my life for His glory then He can do it with anyone.” Daniel is excited to get to know our church and the youth in our valley, praising God the whole way through.
