Some of Daniel’s favorite memories from writing for The Daily Aztec include covering the SDSU baseball beat from 2019-20 and traveling to Albuquerque, New Mexico to cover the 2019 New Mexico Bowl game between SDSU and Central Michigan. When he is not in the press box covering a game, you might be able to find Daniel at Disneyland eating Mickey-shaped beignets and enjoying a Mint Julep.
