hi i’m danial (prounced th + ahhhh (when the dentist asks you to open) knee + all)) ! i was born in canada and moved to santa monica when i was 5 years old. growing up i was obsessed with games. basketball, soccer, tennis, ping pong, badminton, you name it. i happened to find my forte on the chessboard and now have traveled to everywhere from cochabamba, bolivia to lisbon, portugal competing and teaching.
you can find me scooting around campus (yesterday my bike was stolen), jamming all my friends inside of sal study rooms, playing pickup with my roommate at Lyon, losing bread at poker club, coding side quests until 3am, nerding out about the next beautiful idea a founder wants to bring to fruition, watching an outlandish amount of keveats food reviews, and eating too many dulce avocado breakfast burritos.
