John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation

At the confluence of business strategy, creativity, and innovation, is where you’ll find Daniel — with an agile mind, curious disposition, and collaborative spirit. Teaching within the University of Toledo’s Neff College of Business & Innovation, Daniel’s courses span the disciplines of business: management, marketing, technology, and innovation.

In addition to teaching, Daniel works in industry for Nationwide on its innovation team where he serves as an Innovation Designer, creating new impactful products and services that people can’t imagine, and then can’t imagine living without. Prior, Daniel worked for Root Inc., a consulting firm, bringing strategic change, interactive learning solutions, culture transformation, and engagement strategies to life for American Airlines, Fossil Group, Hilton Worldwide, Verizon, and numerous other Fortune 500 companies. 

As a life-longer learner and creative thinker, Daniel loves collaborating and isn’t typically fond of the status quo. In fact, he’s going to challenge you: send him a message and share a story.

CLASSROOM MANIFESTO:

"My goal for this lecture is to be as boring as possible.” — said Daniel never. Though a lecture may spark some similarities to a locker room pep talk, Daniel has a zeal for education and the learning process.

Why do we learn? It is simply to learn a fact or two about something?

No. It’s much deeper than that.

We learn — because we’re curious, because we’re hungry, because we want to understand our world just a bit better, understand others a bit deeper, and along the way, understand ourselves.

We learn — because everyone in any class knows something we don’t.

We learn — because behind every student is a professor, and every professor is a student.

We learn — because we’re all looking to defeat our margin of ignorance.

Watch and learn. Learn and grow. Imagine the unimaginable. And tomorrow, we’ll do it all again.

Welcome to a place where all questions are good questions, everyone is heard, and everyone is valued. Everyone.
