About Daniel:

  • Moving to New Orleans, Daniel has enjoyed orienting and familiarizing himself with the city. Being raised in the Midwest, he is excited to experience New Orleans in the winter.

  • He has been drumming since age 12 — primarily on vintage drums. Which led him, over the past year, to begin making animal hide drum heads, as was done before 1958. It's a fun and admittedly niche hobby.

Hobbies & Interests:

  • Daniel has been involved in the American Association of Geographers (AAG), Illinois GIS Association (ILGISA), and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA).

  • He enjoys trying new recipes, listening to NPR/podcasts, soccer, biking, and live music.

  • He also tries to stay involved in climate advocacy.

I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with the Cloudpoint personnel for several years. They are an outstandingly talented group of honest, humble, and lovely people. I am honored and beyond excited to contribute to this team.
