Let it be known too one and all that there are very few full time town criers in the world and that Daniel is one of the busiest of them all. Using his background as a teacher and actor, plus his love for history, he has transformed this little-known trade into a full-time experience.

Since 1981 he has proudly represented both sides of the national capital region-Ottawa/Gatineau(Hull). He also had the honor of being Ontario's Provincial Herald from 1984 to 1993. Along the way he refined his art to a science, gave workshops on the techniques of proper breathing and projection, formed new town criers for other communities and attained an international reputation.

He has worked in Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, England, France, Germany, Holland, numerous provinces of Canada and quite a few American States. He has won several Town Crier Championships at the North-American and International level; his proudest moments being a unique clean sweep of all categories in two different competitions.

He has proclaimed in over twenty different languages (phonetically) at a variety of events ranging from ambassador's evenings to rock-concerts, His unique school-show on the history of his trade, has had rave reviews from over two thousand schools here and abroad. He was chosen to be ambassador, and Town Crier and MC at the Canada Pavilion for the 2002-2003 season from "Sea To Shining Sea".

His authentically recreated uniforms, range from the medieval court to the court of Louis the XIV by way of Turtle Island and his native regalias. Whether garbed in satin and brocade or covered in buckskin, his long hair tied back or covering his shoulders; we guarantee that Daniel's bilingual character will add flare and panache to any event.

Finally, with over one thousand news paper and magazine articles, and as many appearances on TV and Radio shows locally and at the national and international level; tend to add credibility to the comment; "he attracts attention" and knows how to get your messages across.
