Daniel has lived in the Boulder/Gilpin mountain community most of his life and built a successful career as a skilled mechanic.  Most recently, owning Murphy's Garage in Rollinsville.  

He is a full-time employee which the department shares with our mutual-aid partner Timberline Fire Protection District.  He is also a volunteer with both departments and has been busy becoming certified as a structure firefighter, wildland firefighter and most recently EMT-B. 

When he is not busying working or running calls, Daniel enjoys spending time with his two dogs (one of which he saved from a mountain lion attack!) and wrenching on his own automotive projects at home.
