I’m Daniel! A nonprofit generalist turned philanthropic sponge; a storyteller at heart; and a lifelong student of place, people, and purpose. I work at the intersection of community, curiosity, and good work, currently as a Program Associate at the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina. This site is a slow-growing collection of thoughts, questions, field notes, and lessons from a life in motion. I believe in showing up with heart, asking better questions, and building things that last. Also: I like soccer, growing plants, and a well-timed dad joke.
