Daniel had an accident at birth which affected the nerves in his left hand, a condition known as obstetrical brachial plexus palsy. He was introduced to shooting during National Service but stopped when he went overseas to pursue his bachelor's degree in the game of Go (commonly known as Weiqi). His interest was rekindled later in 2016 after watching the Rio Olympic Games, and inspired him to start shooting again. His goal is to represent Singapore in both the Paralympic and Olympic Games, fueled by his motto "dreams keep you alive". He has since qualified for the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
