Daryl's entrance into this world was not nearly as exciting and notable as the rest of his life. It was unique by the fact that out of the whole universe, it was determined that he was to being his life in Concord, California but only as a launching dock to settle in many other communities. While living in Lodi, CA he often would enjoy spending time with his dad on their 32 ft motor cruiser, fishing in the delta to the SF Bay.  Growing up Daryl always had a passion for the open water and boating. After graduating from S.J.D.C. 1984 with a degree in Photography Arts and Business he mo9ved to Anchorage Alaska for a short time lining with his cousin. After Alaska's adventure he visited another cousin in Maui Hawaii where he settled living for four years. Supporting himself as a photographer for Luau's wind surf magazine and began teaching wind surfing. Looking for any o0ppurtunity to better his skills he became a close friend to a local landscape painting, Stephan Sands, helping him clean brushes and often teaching him little tricks he used to capture Maui beauty. When Daryl wasn't teaching wind-surfing he worked on a 65-foot schooner sailing vessel regularly saining from Lahaina to MoloKai. After returning to San Joaquin Valley he continued the family business of running and managing the Sno-White Drive Ins' in Riverbank for thirty years. When Daryl is not working at the Sno-White he finds time for his hobbies and passion with his 26' sail boat and enjoying time iwth friends at Sip N Paint classes, always having a passion of sailing and having memories of times on the water with his Dad, Ron Daniel. He finally was able to convince his Dad who was not 80 years old to sail with him on a 70' schooner around Alcatraz Island.


This experience with his dad inspired him to paint SAILING WITH DAD
