Daniel was born in Riverside, California and raised in California, Indiana, and Vermont. His childhood Christian formation was in a congregation of the Disciples of Christ. After drifting away from the church in early adolescence, he rediscovered it in the context of working for peace and justice in Central America in the mid-1980s. He has worked as a political activist, community organizer, carpenter, farmer, and gardener, and lived in a variety of intentional communities.
Daniel studied religion, history, and philosophy at Williams College and the California Institute of Integral Studies. After six years of residential practice and study at the San Francisco Zen Center, he began attending Episcopal churches in San Francisco in 1994. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church, where he was active as a liturgical minister, preacher, teacher, and served on the vestry. He received a M.Div. degree from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in May, 2005. He was ordained a priest in December of that year, and immediately came to All Saints, Carmel as Assisting Priest. He helped guide the parish through an interim period, and stayed on as Associate Rector to the Rev. Richard Matters. In August 2010, he was called to St. John’s, Petaluma.
Daniel loves reading, writing, singing, dancing, manual work and being outside. He is married to Meg Tinsley, a writer, artist, and psychotherapist, and they have a six-year-old daughter, Risa.
This governing “board of directors” is elected by the parish at its annual meeting. The Diocesan Constitution and Parish By-laws suggest that one be “a communicant whose name shall be duly enrolled in the Register of the Parish, sixteen years of age or older, and who is regular in his/her attendance at services and is a steward of his/her time, talent and treasurer for its support.” Speak with Senior Warden Nancy Bosch, Junior Warden Marti Overton or Fr. Daniel if you feel so led.
