He has experience setting up a remote radio broadcast and has called games on WMUC Sports for Men’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Football, and Men’s Lacrosse. His favorite broadcasting moments include calling: the 2010 ACC Men’s Soccer Championship, a basketball game at UNC, the longest lacrosse game in Division 1 history and the 2012 DI Men’s Lacrosse Final Four.

During the summer of 2011, he interned with WJLA/ABC-7 in Washington DC and their sports department. In addition to classes in the Phillip Merrill College of Journalism, he has gained the skills necessary to be a one-man-band reporter for television. His favorite moment in television was interviewing Iron Chef Bobby Flay for a story about the grand opening of his burger restaurant in College Park, MD.
Daniel is pursuing a career in sports broadcasting where he one day hopes to find himself sitting courtside at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts calling NBA games for his beloved Celtics.
