My Bio
I am my own kind of man, the kind that believes in going big, and doing the best one can. I'm a fighter to my last breath. Standing strong through the storms, and challenging everything just to see how far I can go. My life is a constant thrill with my passion as a fitness instructor, my drive as a creative soul, and living by my given name, Daniel, which means “God is my judge.”

I am a graphic design, web developer, fitness instructor, and future personal trainer (recently got certified). Also I do a lot of art, comic developing, film producing, photography, screenwriting, and general writing in my free time. And of course a lot of working out, martial arts (mainly Jiu Jitsu), wilderness survival, and whatever grabs my interest. I'm really an adventure seeker at heart, and that's something nobody can ever take away (like to see somebody try though, I'll put 'em in a triangle chock).

My work as a graphic designer and web developer has been relatively small. Though I have an AAS degree in Multimedia. It's been mostly designing my own little industry of websites, short films, comics, and all kinds of web media. It's a work in progress, but I can assure that there will be a lot to come in the coming days as I develop all the many projects I have in store (all an effort to build my own little empire of awesomeness).

My life in the world of fitness involves teaching BodyCombat (a martial arts inspired cardio workout class) and BodyAttack (a sports inspired aerobic, cardio, and condition class). I'm also certified (recently) as a Personal Trainer (hopeful to be working soon as well). Fitness is a lifestyle, and my goal is to bring it to the world, giving everybody the chance to change there bodies and their lives. If you are in my area come join me for a class, or find a gym near you that has <a href=lesmills.com/findaclass>Les Mills or a any gym that can help you get in shape, and begin a journey to take back your life and get fit. Fitness is a battle, and surrender is not an option (*hint hint* that quote is part of one of my projects in the works, definitely something all you fitness fans will want to check out).

I've been so blessed with friends, abilities, and the chance to do these amazing things. I've been blessed to have been put through my fair share of challenges so I could learn. Blessed to have grown so much, from a shy, geeky, little kid to a man who can live proud, and it's a continued effort to change the things that are at fault in my life. I'm not perfect, but I try. I live a life striving for strength, integrity, and dedication. And through fitness and creative works I do it all for the glory of my Lord, my savior, and my friend, Jesus Christ. For without his guidance I wouldn't be here today. He has a plan for my life, a plan to prosper and not to harm (Jeremiah 29:11).

Since graduating college a year ago, and getting my degree in Multimedia I've really done very little with it. I've really been lacking in my art and photography over the past year. My life took some crazy turns towards the end of the college. Finding myself pulled into the fitness world. Starting with teaching BodyCombat, then adding BodyAttack and getting my Personal Trainer certification. So I've been busy, but since I'm now certified to be a personal trainer I've found I suddenly have a great deal of free time again at the moment. So it's time I get back to my creative works. I have several big design and art projects I'm beginning work
