While Danny and his wife Alison joined the Bethel team in June of 2011, Danny is not new to Bethel Church. From ages 2-4 he was "making an impression" as the son of the youth pastors (Malcolm & Kathy MacPhail). A few things have changed since then. In 2005, after attending Azusa Pacific University, God led Danny to Colorado Springs to attend The New Life School of Worship. While preparing him for his future ministry endeavors, God also introduced him to Alison. They married in November of 2006.

Danny's passion is to lead worshipers of all ages into the presence of God and desires that people would not look at worship as "the stuff we do before the message", but rather as an opportunity to connect with Him on a personal and new level.

In his personal time, Danny loves spending time with Alison watching movies and searching for the best TV series since "24". He is a golf fanatic, loves the world champion S.F. Giants, 49ers, Sharks, and just about any other sport or team you'd like to talk about.
