My name is Daniel Koudys, and I am from Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. I graduated from Bentley University, located in Boston, MA, USA. with a major in Marketing and a minor in Information Design and Corporate Communications. During my time at Bentley, I was on athletic scholarship, playing NCAA Division 1 college hockey for the Bentley University Falcons while also donating my time to the Team Impact Foundation and the University's SAAC program where I served 4 years as a SAAC board member. My hockey career took me to Europe, where I gained a tremendous amount of experience living with many different cultures in France and The Netherlands. I played 4 years of professional hockey at a high level, winning multiple Championships. My time in France allowed me to learn the French language and get certified as a bilingual speaker, as well as train and prepare for the next chapter of my life. I am now certified as a Firefighter Level 1 & 2 through FESTI in Toronto, as well as certified in Hazardous Materials Operations with IFE accreditations.
