About Daniel
Born and raised in Michigan and moved to Los Angeles in 2011. I worked freelanced as a photographer, camera operator, videographer, and video editor.
In 2016 I was introduced to podcasting and found my passion. First starting as a host on The "Weird Al" Phabet (a podcasts covering every song made by "Weird Al" Yankovic), over the years I've learned to properly research subjects, upgraded to professional recording equipment, and with my skills learned from editing video I used that to edit the podcast episodes.
In 2020 I branched off to create my own show, How Did This NOT Get Made, a show about unmade films, tv shows, and video games.
Outside of podcasting I've been a Tour Guide at Warner Bros Studios, a Technology Teacher for K-8 students, and an IT Coordinator at Deluxe Media Inc.
