Biography

At the age of four, Daniel moved from Cuba to Spain, where he lived for the next 12 years. His family could not afford much but they bought him a soccer ball and his passion for the sport began from that moment on. Daniel played with the local soccer teams growing up and had the opportunity to play at a higher level with Club Deportivo Buñol. 

When Daniel was 16 years old my family relocated to Miami, Florida where he played all four years of high school on the soccer team and with a select club. In 2016, Daniel joined the U.S. Army and served for seven years as combat engineer. Once he separated from the Army, he wanted to continue his passion for the sport at a different position.
