Daniel is the founder of Native, a travel-based enterprise which supports native communities in building their economic capacity and sharing their stories with the world. He believed that everyone has a great story and the capacity to do amazing things if they are given the opportunity and freedom to pursue their aspirations. There is a native imperative that all society shares to support each other in creating shared prosperity for both people and planet. With a deep curiosity for all things, Daniel put his training as a civil engineer behind him and decided to pursue a career in exploring ways to make the world a better place for everyone to work, play, and live.
