Daniel grew up in a dusty galaxy far, far away in the town of Farmington, New Mexico. In 2007 he convinced his midwestern wife Eliza to marry him and follow him across the country to Philadelphia. There Daniel worked as the Youth Director, Interim Pastor, and Pastor at a Presbyterian congregation in Northeast Philly. He and Eliza have two spritely daughters, Anastasia and Eliana, who test Daniel’s patience as well as fill his life with incredible joy.
He received a BA in Philosophy from New Mexico State University and an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He also has a PhD in Systematic Theology from Westminster Seminary and wrote a dissertation on the theology of Herman Bavinck.
In March 2021, he moved to Wheaton to take the call as the Associate Pastor at Bethel, OPC. His call was later changed, and he was installed as the Pastor in May 2023. Daniel’s mother grew up in Schaumburg, and he loves finally living in Chicagoland. It is good for his soul (though perhaps not his waistline) at last to have access to a steady supply of deep-dish pizza and Portillo’s hot dogs. He is a lifelong Chicago Bears fan who is still perplexed by the Bears’ decision to fire Lovie Smith.
Daniel has a passion for preaching, teaching, college ministry, loving people, cultivating the communion of the saints, and training up leaders for the church.
