Daniel’s journey behind the wheel began at just 9 years old, turning laps around Picton Kart Track. Over the next six years, he became a standout in Australian karting, collecting state titles and securing podiums at national-level events.

At 15, Daniel made the leap to single-seaters, heading to the U.S. to compete in the Formula 4 Championship. His rookie year was nothing short of dominant, claiming the F4 U.S. title and earning a scholarship to step up into Formula Regional (F3) Americas.

Daniel made an immediate statement in 2025, joining the Michelin Sprint Challenge mid-season and dominating the 'Class B' field. Despite campaigning an older-generation car, his ability to outpace 'Pro' class front-runners signaled a massive talent.

In 2026, Daniel continues his journey toward the professional ranks with MR. Backed by professional driver coaching and race engineering, he is undoubtedly one to watch as he vies for championship honors.
