A lifelong 4-H member, beginning at the age of 5, he began his Extension career as a camp staff member and educational programming assistant at the Southwest Virginia 4-H Center (six summers), worked for eight years as a 4-H agent in Virginia and spent two years as a 4-H agent in North Carolina. Most recently, Daniel worked (past 4 years) as the state coordinator for International Exchange Programs with North Carolina 4-H.
