He is passionate about reducing the stigma of PTSD for first responders and uses his art, public speaking and workshops to raise awareness of occupational stress injuries worldwide.

Daniel enjoys combining the technical and artistic elements of his work. Each piece can take several days or weeks of processing until he feels it is ready.

First Responders' mental wellness initiatives were initiated after visiting his peers in Australia, Finland, and Mississippi. Daniel often travels and gains inspiration for his art from his experiences. Learn more about Daniel and his artwork by visiting his webpage at www.dansunphotos.com
