Daniel had plans to further his passion for architecture in Australia. Daniel loved playing sports and enjoyed the outdoors, spending many fun filled hours on dirt bikes, snowboarding, scuba diving, sky diving and karate. He was on the football and wrestling teams at school and enjoyed camping, the beach, and tubing down the Souris River. Daniel spent over a year living in Australia, he loved it and always wanted to go back. He made many friends and lived with Wilma Ta'ala and his Aussie family. He spent the year working and traveling and touring the country. Daniel loved gatherings of all sizes, he was happiest in a crowd listening to his favourite bands or just hanging out with friends and family.
