Danny started playing soccer at the tender age of four.  He managed to score four goals in his first official match at the age of five.  Danny scored his first of three bicycle kick goals (an over-head kick in
midair-- look at the logo on the homepage) as a U9 player.

At the age of twelve, Danny entered a juggling contest against 17 yearolds.  He won by keeping the ball up 1084 times without it ever dropping. Danny’s youth soccer years saw him become State and Regional Cup Champion.  His U16 team brought home the 3rd place U.S. National trophy.

Danny went on to play Division 1 college soccer at Creighton University on a soccer scholarship. In 1999, Creighton made it to the“Elite Eight,” by beating U.C.L.A., the defending National Champions.
In 2000, Danny was drafted in the 1st round by the Milwaukee Rampage professional outdoor soccer team.

"Skillful moves have always been a part of who I am as a player.  When I was five, I saw an interview of Pele (the Michael Jordan of soccer) on a Mexican television sports program. Pele told the
audience that Brazilian soccer players are known for their wonderful skills. Then, a highlight video of some of these Brazilian players performing their crafty moves followed the interview. I was glued to the television set and mesmerized by their creativity and flair with the ball. From that point on, anything and everything in my environment became an opponent to dribble around. I would dribble past chairs, trees, my dog, my
parents, rocks on the ground, etc. Mastering the soccer ball has influenced the way I play."

Danny has played internationally in Brazil, Switzerland, Germany,Mexico, Austria, Hungary, Canada, and Denmark.
