As a child growing up exploring the outdoors and hunting with his father, Daniel became quite familiar with wildlife at an early age. He heard stories of bigfoot but it wasn’t until he saw the Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin film in 2010 that a fire of curiosity sparked within him. It was then he decided he would take what he knew about the outdoors and start his own research into the elusive creature.
Around that time, the subject of Bigfoot was becoming slightly less taboo and more open for discussion. And thanks to social media, bigfoot communities started developing. It was there that Daniel soon began researching reported sightings and commonalities between them; tree structures and their possible meanings; different theories as to what bigfoot is; and footprints versus known wildlife tracks. He also began studying great apes and the similarities they share with bigfoot such as long howls, whoops, tree knocks and tree-structure formations, as well as the comparisons to the various characteristics and Behaviors.
He went into the woods with heightened awareness and an open mind, and it wasn’t long before he discovered large, bipedal humanoid tracks. At that very moment, what started as a fire of curiosity turned into a passion and the East Coast Bigfoot Researchers Organization (E.C.B.R.O.) was born.
Since then, Daniel has conducted fieldwork in several deep remote locations all along the east coast. And on one of those investigations in his home state of Virginia, he would have his first sighting: a family of Bigfoots. But Daniel states that he was a “knower” of bigfoots existence prior to even seeing them based on all the other data that has been collected both from his own research and fellow colleagues in association with the ECBRO.
Daniel has spoken at several events along the east coast and has been featured in the following Bigfoot documentaries “Elusive Legend – An E.C.B.R.O. Story”. Also Starring in The Beast Of Elkhorn Lake on Hometown Haunts Series found on Paraflixx, and Featured on Hunt for the Shawnee Sasquatch Which was filmed in Illinois and coming soon - I BELIEVE IN BIGFOOT. He has also been the featured guest on numerous podcasts & radio shows and hosts a podcast called “ECBRO Bigfoot Radio”. He is also an author of bigfoot research field guides and has his own YouTube Channel called “Bigfoot Zone (ECBRO)”.
He decided to start the ECBRO to not only develop a strong community of researchers but to also educate and bring awareness to everyone. Because everyone deserves to know the truth and learn what is out there. Daniel started hosting public lectures at libraries, sharing his research and his Scientific based beliefs. Daniel has also spoke at Universities in Virginia and has gotten the attention of Skeptics with his views on the Subject.
