Growing up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Daniel has always had a passion for politics and journalism, gossip and otherwise. He is currently working on both a novel and a cookbook. Since he could walk, he's loved to cook and bake, and has always dreamed of parlaying this into a career, possibly opening a bakery or small restaurant. Also having watched the daytime soaps since a very young age, he is a font of knowledge about all things soaps, whether it be "Another World" or "Days of Our Lives"--he knows a bit about them all. This past October he had the opportunity to travel to Pittsburgh and bid farewell to the longest running show in history, "The Guiding Light." He currently resides in Virginia, where he has lived for the majority of his 26 years.
