He has maintained employment in this capacity since 1996 as an itinerant instructor for many school districts, rehabilitation agencies, and private persons throughout the world. He believes in a strong interdisciplinary education model, making a point to work in close collaboration with all professionals and other supports in relation to each student. Daniel has worked with nearly 1000 blind students of all ages and backgrounds, and from many cultures, as well as tens of thousands of professionals and members of the blindness community.
Derrick Twene is a charismatic, highly skilled business leader with extensive commercial experience within the chemical industry.
