Hello, my name is Daniel.
I’m a sailor, nutritionist, personal trainer, and entrepreneur. I live a life in motion, driven by a deep love for the ocean, a passion for wellness, and an endless curiosity for culture, people, and place.

Originally from North Carolina with Venezuelan roots, I’ve spent the last several years navigating both the Atlantic, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and entrepreneurial seas, working from boats, cafés, Airbnbs, and hostels between the U.S., South American, the Caribbean, and Europe. My background in nutrition and fitness allows me to help high-performing individuals optimize their health, while my love for sailing keeps me connected to rhythm, nature, and simplicity.

Whether I’m coaching a client, crewing a classic vessel, or building out my next business idea, I’m always seeking meaningful connection, through shared meals, open water, honest conversations, or creative collaboration. I believe in strong coffee, movement as medicine, and letting the wind show you what comes next.

If you’re into adventure, integrity, and making good things with good people—let’s connect.
