My name is Daniel and I am a New Yorker born and raised! My passion is meeting amazing people from all walks of life! I am a fun loving and sensitive guy who loves to be spontaneous/silly and enjoy the simple things in life. I am a musician, personal trainer and brand ambassador with a lot of other awesome experiences along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a lover of music of cultures from around the world. From Hip-Hop to Jazz to Afro-music, to Latin music, since I am Puerto Rican/Afro-Cuban. Diversity is a big part of my life and there's no better way to share that culture than through music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a black belt in Martial Arts! I made this accomplishment at the age of 15 and have learned so much from my studies at Excel Martial Arts in the Bronx. The discipline and elements of conflict resolution have helped me stay out of trouble and resolve difficult situations in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love exchanging ideas and knowledge! Specifically I love teaching people how to play drums and percussion since I have been a drummer my whole life. I also am a personal trainer and love to be active, so helping people become more healthy is one of my goals in life.
