Daniel Cook

Daniel is an eco-preneur and explorer of good, mindful living across world cultures. His journey spans the origination and development of projects in four continents, including fly-fishing in the Bahamas, pioneering solar energy in New England, bootstrapping nonprofit management throughout the emerging markets, and six years of wine in Argentina and Chile. YogaEarth is Daniel’s newest endeavor, and if you look closely you will see the strands of his life experiences woven together: the zen of fly-casting; the entrepreneurial spirit of VC; the social innovation of his nonprofit and clean energy work; and, the connection with the earth and food from his days in South American organic wine. Daniel received his BA from Fairfield University’s Honors Program and MBA from Harvard University. He is a P2P Eisenhower Ambassador to England, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Russia, and a Fulbright Scholar to Chile. Daniel lives on Venice Beach and sits on the board of directors for Experience Aviation and Yoga for Youth, organizations pioneering the learning of aviation and yoga in US inner cities, respectively. Recently he earned his Skipper's license in sailing from New Zealand's Royal Sailing Academy, and he is an avid fly fisher, with angling time logged throughout the Patagonia, South Andros, New Zealand, and the American northwest.
