Daniel was born in Kentucky, though his parents had the good sense to raise him in West Tennessee. The son of a pastor and a middle school PE teacher, Daniel grew up in Dyersburg before exploring East Tennessee while attending the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He moved to Memphis to study medicine, then completed his pediatrics residency at LeBonheur Children’s Hospital. He’s been a pediatrician at Pediatrics East for the last 8 years. Daniel and his wife, Allie, settled in Germantown in 2015 and stay busy raising three wild little boys and a golden retriever named Jedi. Daniel and his family attend Harvest Church, and he’s a board member of Agape Child and Family Services.
