Daniel began his juggling and performing career in the  California Renaissance fair circuit.  Being one of the founding members of the four person juggling group “Out Of Kontrol” he helped create a show based on spontaneous comedy and very skilled juggling.  After six years with the group he struck out on his own to further his education and skills at Dell’Arte School of Physical Theatre.

After graduating Dell’Arte he began teaching juggling, clown and circus around the country for the next year while building his solo show.  Launching his show in Fresno he then took it to Venice beach for the summer of 2002 then to San Francisco after being accepted into the Clown Conservatory at the Circus Center of San Francisco.  Being able to work with his mentors Jeff Raz and Dominique Jando he finished the two year program early with the acceptance into the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus.

For the next two years Daniel was part of the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Red unit Clown Alley.  Daniel worked on the 133^rd and 135^th editions of the show and was given several solo ring spots during the RBBB preshow both years.
