  ABOUT DANIEL
  Daniel at the seawall I live with my wife Marlaina in the Seattle area. I wanted you to know something about me in case you choose me as the father of your new baby. I have already raised three wonderful kids. Katherine (Kate) is the oldest at age 22. She is going to performing arts college and is a gifted singer and actress, Danny is 18, is a drummer in a band and is graduating from high school this year, Angela (Angie) is 16, a straight A student and a gifted vocalist also.
I adopted Kate and am the natural father of Danny and Angie. The fact that all three are terrific kids well prepared to go out into the world, I think is a strong indication of loving, attentive parents providing the attention and guidance every child needs. I grew up in cowboy country in Arizona, riding horses and hunting and fishing. I had a large family. My grandparents lived next door, my aunts, uncles and cousins lived all around us. My family were trades people. Every one had a workshop. I learned auto mechanics, carpentry, cabinet making, metal work and welding as I grew up. To this day I have a large workshop out back full of tools and love making and fixing things around the house. I have always sought out adventure in my life and have always included my wife, my kids and my friends in a busy and fun-filled life. When I graduated from high school I joined the Navy and saw the world (well, the Pacific Rim countries anyway). I worked as a Russian interpreter and saw many interesting places. After the Navy I worked in business for many years and for the last 10 years have either owned or managed mid-sized companies.
Daniel in the plane About 8 years ago I got interested in airplanes and computers. Today I fly small airplanes (4 to 6 seaters) and love taking family and friends on day flights to the San Juan Islands or up to Vancouver Canada. I work full time as a computer consultant.

Right now I am building big corporate internet sites at Microsoft. I have a design studio in my home full of computers and graphic design equipment. What I have given my kids and would give a new child in our home is financial stability, an opportunity to learn first-hand about almost anything they are interested in, be it travel, wood-working, computers or business.

I want everyone I know and especially my kids to be loved, happy and successful in life. I know you can't learn everything you want to know about someone from one letter, but hopefully I have given you some idea about who I am and what I care about.

Sincerely, Daniel 8-)
