Hi, My name is Daniel Harnish, I was born in Big Island, Hawaii, and moved to California.
I attended California School for the Deaf, Fremont, and graduated there in 1998.

After Graduated, I moved to New York and lived there for two years, and I volunteered as a missionary to service for the church in New York. After returning home from my mission, I went to two different community colleges between California and Utah.
I decided to go to Ohlone College to study for ASL/Deaf Studies to received an Associate of Arts Degree and graduated there. After that, I transferred to the Art Institute of Salt Lake City in Draper, Utah, to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Digital Photography. I work a part-time job for FedEx Express and receiving benefits to support my family. Someone told me High School needs a help and looking for ASL (American Sign Language) Teacher to teach HS students.
I applied and taught there for a year and really enjoyed, immersion into the ASL. We moved to Portland, Oregon and I applied PCC, Portland Community College to teach ASL there for four years. I am married, I have a wife, and I have four children.
All are hearing and CODA (Child of the Deaf Adult).

I am a current graduate student at Gallaudet University for MASLED Program, Master in Sign Language Education.
