A Creative Entrepreneur, Dedicated Family Man
Born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area, Daniel has watched its communities grow and change throughout his life. Ten years ago, he and his wife chose Burnaby to start a family and build a life with their son. What stood out to them was the balance Burnaby offered—a vibrant urban energy with community charm and seamless access to green natural spaces.
Over the past decade, Daniel has witnessed both the promise and the pressure facing Burnaby families. He understands parents who want quality facilities and a solid foundation for their children, as well as young adults struggling to build a future in an increasingly expensive region. He also sees how rapid overdevelopment strains our community—leading to congested streets, neighbourhood tension, and the loss of local green space. These are the people and priorities Daniel is dedicated to representing.
With over 20 years of experience helping businesses create and grow their brands. He solves problems by bringing people together, turning ideas into action, and balancing creativity with practical solutions. As co-founder of Burnaby First, he’s ready to put that experience to work for the city he calls home. He believes this city has everything it needs to thrive—and he is inspired to bring his experience, energy, and commitment.
Good ideas require sound planning and fiscal responsibility from local government, ensuring Burnaby residents and businesses aren't overburdened by property taxes—especially during these uncertain economic times. Despite the challenges ahead, Daniel firmly believes in Burnaby’s potential, and he has never felt more inspired to make a meaningful difference.
