He served as the charter president of the Bellefonte   Lions Club in 2018 and since then Daniel has held a wide variety of roles   throughout the organisation from club to multiple district level.

 Daniel served as district governor of the state of Delaware (22-D) in 2022 - 2023   and was appointed to serve as a board appointee at the 105th International   convention in Boston   Massachusetts in 2023.

 In recognition of his service to the association, he has received multiple   Presidential   and Leadership Medals and International President’s Certificates of   Appreciation.

 He has been recognised as a Second Century Ambassador for Lions Clubs   International and a Humanitarian Partner for Lions Clubs International   Foundation (LCIF). He has also been honoured with the Ambassador of Good   Will Award, the highest honour the association bestows upon its members.

Daniel and his wife, Jessica, who also a Lion and a Melvin Jones Fellow, enjoy playing music, travelling and helping mentor youth in under-served communities.

Testaments:

Having had the pleasure to serve alongside Daniel on 2 Global weeks of service, one in India and the other in Morocco, I agree wholeheartedly with him that "Lion Daniel is a Lion".

He does not serve for the prestigiousness of achieving an award or for any titles bestowed upon him. He simply does it because he cares. I personally have been inspired to follow my passions and give back to the community through ways I had not even considered pursuing until I met Daniel, he epitomises the values and mission statement of Lions International he "builds up, and not destroys".
