^{My name is Daniel Clark and I’m the founder of Spiritual Performance. I was born and raised in the pine barrens of New Jersey. During the countless hours I spent exploring a small patch of woods near my house, I slowly began to become aware that my soul’s quest in life would be to become a student of Nature.}

^{In my youth, I was accomplished in multiple martial arts, most notably being a state runner-up and D1 athlete in the sport of wrestling, achieving a bronze medal in the UWW world grappling championships, and holding a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.}

^{At the University of Virginia, I earned bachelor’s degrees in biology and archaeology. After my formal education ended, I spent my career leading up to the launch of Spiritual Performance as a personal trainer, nutrition coach, gym owner, and eventually a master instructor and curriculum developer for an international fitness organization.}

^{In my free time, I continued to intuitively venture into the wilderness to escape the pressures of culture and learn about life directly from the source. I eventually moved to a remote homestead in New Mexico and began making my work with Nature my profession. Spiritual Performance is the synthesis of my work and my offerings thus far.}

_{In my personal life, I enjoy reading, movement, fly fishing, and working with my wife on our home and landscape.}
