In addition to his full-time pulpit work, Daniel also serves as a chaplain in the Texas Air National Guard with the rank of Major, becoming the state’s first and only Jewish Chaplain.

Both he and his wife Yael, and their two sons, Nati and Avi, continue to build the Modern Orthodox community of Austin, while serving the needs of the broader Jewish community and the State of Texas.
