Daniel grew up in New York City, where he attended Stony Brook University and worked in student ministry and the legal field for a number of years. At Redeemer Presbyterian Church, he caught Tim Keller’s vision for ministry and church planting in global cities, which led him to help plant Maranatha Grace Church while obtaining a Master’s degree at Westminster Theological Seminary. He has also worked at The Summit Church, where he developed curricula for discipleship, small groups, Bible study, and faith-and-work ministry. As the program coordinator for the Center for Public Christianity, Daniel runs operations, curates the New City Fellows program and teaches on its faculty. As the local outreach coordinator for Holy Trinity, Daniel cultivates the church’s relationships with local ministry partners and mobilizes the church to support them. He is married to Crystal Chen, and they enjoy hiking, cooking, reading, movies, traveling, and hosting friends and family.
