Purple Tribe

Pastor

With a firm sense of community and faith, Daniel intends to lead the charge and his tribe much like his congregation at home in WA. A youth pastor in Port Hedland, Daniel was raised in his local church and later felt a calling from God to become a pastor.

“I'm betting on the fact that people are going to be underestimating me in this game for being a pastor because pastors can't play a brutal, savage game like Survivor.”

Oozing positivity and happiness, Daniel admits he’s both a klutz and a bundle of joy, but as a self-proclaimed Survivor superfan, he revels in ruthless gameplay and a good blindside.

The youngest of three boys, the 27-year-old enters the game strong, coming in the top three per cent for his first half-marathon, and able to clock 5km in under 20 minutes.

With endurance under his belt and an ability to chat to anyone, Daniel says his social game will be helped by his years in the church.

“I'm an absolute social butterfly. I can chat to anyone. I love talking. And I'm probably going to get myself into trouble because I talk too much.”
