Daniel has dedicated the past 7 years to cleaning schools across Klein ISD. He worked hard to ensure the schools he worked at were clean and organized for a successful school year. After the first couple of years of working for KISD he was moved to Zwink Elementary school to which he instantly connected with the students and staff and was quick to become part of the family. Daniel often showed up early for work just to make sure he could say hello to everyone before they left for the day. He loved the students and staff very deeply and tried his best to keep a friendly and lighthearted environment so that everyone felt at home at Zwink.
Daniel loved listening to music in his pastime. Some of his favorite bands included KISS, Black Sabbath, Queen, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and so much more. He shared his love of music with his family and had a collection of upwards of 1,000 CDs and cassettes. If Daniel was not listening to music he was often watching reruns of baseball, football, or basketball from the 80s or 90s. Daniel loved the Red Sox, New York Giants, and the Boston Celtics.
