Daniel is particularly gifted at convening dialogue about controversial and important topics about nationalism, military strategy, politics, and leadership.  With his experience in multiple sectors—government, nonprofit, and military—Daniel has a wealth of insight he shares easily.  Our time with Daniel was truly one of "engaged pluralism" where diverse voices spoke and were heard, and we all learned. I highly recommend him as a speaker, convener, and inspiration for students of all ages.
