Daniel spends his days directing Explorations Academy, a fully accredited high school that prepares young people to be global citizens and change agents. Daniel is a past recipient of the Willi Unsoeld Award for contributions to the field of Experiential Education, and has taught students from 4th grade through college. He holds a black belt in and teaches Aikido (which legitimizes him throwing teenagers around), and has been a consultant and trainer for schools, public agencies, and community groups. Daniel's passion is facilitating growth and change. He also loves telemark skiing, woodcarving, music, sailing and being in wild nature.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
