Climbing Magazine named Daniel the "most successful American to ever launch an expedition". He has been leading and organizing successful and safe overland, trekking, and mountaineering expeditions for 10 years, to Tibet, Nepal, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India, China, Africa, and North America.
The Mount Everest Trust is active building hospitals and schools to help poor families and promoting environmental awareness among remote communities across Nepal and Tibet. The work of the Trust is vital to help improve the health and educational levels of the local mountain peoples in this imperiled region. Trust activities have also been crucial in helping to preserve and protect the remaining pristine environments where these people live their daily lives.
