Peter Daniel was born February 22, 1984 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Graduating Savannah Country Day School in 2002, he pursued a liberal arts education at Davidson College where an unveiled passion for abstract, visual expression would lead him to declare Studio Art as his major. Extensive world travel, a challenging urban service internship, and dense monastic retreats have been formative elements shaping his identity and vocations as artist and pastor, a word he customizes to mean: one who provides an open space in which to exchange vulnerability for some form of healing. His first year out of college, Peter Daniel appeased culinary interests working at Noble's restaurant in Charlotte, NC, providing the means to paint daily out of an extra bedroom in his apartment. He taught English, art, computer science, and other subjects in rural Bayonnais, Haiti during the 2007-2008 academic year. This experience significantly changed his life, reviving an interest in medicine, for example. Peter will start medical school at the Medical College of Georgia in August, 2010.
