Daniel enjoyed the outdoors living in Park City where he moved in 1986, snow skiing everywhere in the Rockies and Cascades, and camping and 4x4ing in central and southern Utah and Baja Mexico. He was a big sports fan and follower of the Utah Jazz, Purdue Boilermakers, and University of Utah Utes. He had a passion for everything mechanical including his career at Unisys and Freightliner, and attending the annual Reno Air Races and Laguna Seca Speedway races.

He graduated from St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, Ohio and then attended Purdue University where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering. In 1958 moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where he started his career at Sperry Rand. On February 14, 1974, he married Nadine Bower Gibson. In 1977 he moved with his family to Lake Oswego, Oregon to work at Freightliner Corporation which was based in Portland, Oregon. In 1982, he moved back to Utah to work at Sperry Rand, which later became Unisys which is where he eventually retired from.
