A near death experience, in which he touches the other side, inspires Daniel to change careers. Changing from death and darkness to life and light, he gets more than he originally bargained for.

Joining the Army at 17 years of age, Daniel later serves as a Forward Scout on Australia's first military deployment to East Timor. Returning, restless, he undertakes officer training and serves again in East Timor as an Infantry Platoon Commander. However, his service in the Army leaves hidden scars and he leaves in search of life's great meaning. He serves in federal law enforcement but the adrenaline spiking allure of war leads him to Afghanistan. Here he works as a Security Contractor dodging death and tempting fate alongside American and Australian forces in Australia's longest war.

Seeking redemption and healing from his past experiences, Daniel studies to be a Paramedic. He joins the Ambulance Service where he gains and shares a unique insight into life, death, grief and loss. Daniel's story is an unwavering tale of adventure, self discovery, growth and acceptance and is told with humour, humility and vulnerability.
