Daniel had a passion for driving and began his career as a truck driver for Bauer Dredging. He changed his career and trained as a welder and continued his work with C. F. Bean Corp. He made many long-time friends in his career there including a group of young men that he interned in the welding industry. They still comment on the great teacher/boss he was to them. He was also employed with King Fisher where he met and worked with his son-in-law Jorma.
