Biography

Retrieved from 10play.com.au

Personal trainer, nutritionist and cookbook author, Daniel has achieved a lot for his years.

He grew up on the northern beaches of Sydney with his parents and two brothers. His childhood was spent outdoors and he has a keen love for the beach and surfing. His mum and dad always shared their love of food with their sons, and as a result all three boys have an interest in cooking.

With a Masters in Exercise Science, he is one of only a few post graduate qualified personal trainers. Daniel has worked with a number of professional sporting teams and athletes to improve their performance through the means of nutrition, strength and conditioning. He understands the importance diet has not only on a performance level but also for general health.

"I had been making up recipes for my mates to cook that helped them to be healthier, save money and impress their girlfriends. When I was writing these recipes up for them, I realised that I was writing my own book and that I had plenty more ideas. It was at that moment sitting at my desk that my love for food and cooking truly hit me."

Daniel published the first in what he hopes will become a series of seven cookbooks, Dudefood, and he wants to continue to educate on health, nutrition, exercise and cooking.

When he is not cooking, working or working out, Daniel is down the beach with his mates, surfing, barbequing and enjoying his dude time.
