Versatility would be the best word to describe Daniel's skill set. Although he primarily performs on tenor saxophone he also performs on and teaches alto and soprano saxophone, flute, clarinet, and piano. He also has explored many facets of composition pulling from a variety of influences ranging from traditional middle eastern music to Beethoven and everything in between. He has completed commissions for a diverse set ensembles such as a classical saxophone quartet and for the big band at the University of Louisville.

Receiving a BM in Music Education has allowed Daniel to flourish in any teaching scenario presented. This allowed him to serve as a graduate teaching assistant during his time at the University of Louisville where he taught freshman music theory. He currently teaches privately in the Cincinnati area with the Cincinnati School of Music.
