In 1969 he left home and journeyed to the University of Wisconsin at Madison. With a college degree in hand he returned to San Antonio and started his construction business. Daniel took time out from his career in the construction industry to serve, at the request of the Mayor and San Antonio City Council Members, on various boards and commissions. His commitment to the City of San Antonio, and in particular to the Chicano Community, grew to the point that he left the construction industry and joined the nonprofit world. Daniel became the Executive Director of The Avenida Guadalupe Association and later became President and Chief Executive Officer of The Mexican American Unity Council; both are community based organizations in San Antonio, Texas. Daniel is presently working on his second novel, The Alamo Affair. Daniel’s favorite hobby is long distance running; he has run over twenty marathons, including the Boston Marathon.view less
