His mother a known and respected surgeon had always hoped her children would follow in her footsteps because the alternative was to follow in their fathers and this would have given her more cause for worry that she did not need. Daniel adored both parents however and being extremely respectful to those in authority (more so when they deserve and have earned it) he knew his father wanted him to join the marines and spent most of his school life being geared in that direction.<br/><br/>He did not mind this however, for he always knew he could combine his desire to help people with an army career and after doing a years service in the marines applied for a medical career. Five years passed before he was qualified but with his determination and ease of adaptation to any given situation, Daniel was soon being put on rosters for colonisation expeditions. By the time his sister told him about Acheron, he had risen in his field. As highly respected as both his parents, he knew he could not let his sister go alone to LV-426.<br/><br/>Only a few strings were pulled to get him on the roster for the colony, they were thrilled to have someone of his expertise out there. He knows it won't be easy, there will be other medical staff but he will be expected to do any major surgery, inoculating the colonists, making sure they all have their regular medical check ups and with that came the endless headaches involved. Still it beat sitting in a doctors chair at the Plymouth general hospital which would have been his next port of call when he left the marines.
