About me

In 1999, Daniel founded the non-profit Living Routes, which partnered with UMass-Amherst to run study abroad programs based in ecovillages around the world. Over 1,500 students were transformed by these immersive experiences. Daniel left Living Routes in 2012 to start a new social venture called Earth Deeds, which offers online tools for individuals and groups to “onset” their unavoidable CO2 emissions and support meaningful sustainability projects. Daniel is co-founder and past Board Member of Gaia Education, served as President of the Global Ecovillage Network from 2015-2019, Director of Education at the Findhorn Foundation in 2022-2023, and is currently the Director of Partnerships and Networking at the FIC.
