Hello Everyone,

My name is Daniel Chantlos.  I answer to Daniel, Chantlos, Church and Pops, take your pick.  I just finish The World Race a few weeks ago and I can't wait to be one of your leaders in Africa. 

(Hanging out with tiger cubs in Thailand.)

A little more about myself.  I was born and raised in Florida and have lived in Tampa most of my life.   I have awesome parents who are very active in the college/young adult ministry at their church.  The always have kids over.  I also have an older brother (Jay) who is a high school math teacher.  I grew up knowing how much God loves me.  I have always been active in the church one way or another.  I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life, all I have ever know is that I love serving God.   I am 28 years old.  I graduated from USF.  I have worked at and orange grove, online music instrument store, Best Buy and my church with middle school students. 

(1. 13 months of no haircuts or shaving since my Training Camp and The World Race.  2. Beardless

3. Back to normal.)

I left my job at the church to go on The World Race last January 2011.  I went to India, Nepal, Romania, Moldova, Swaziland, Mozambique, South Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia and Malaysia.  It was by far the best year of my life where God did some awesome things.

Towards the end of my Race I didn't believe that God was calling me home just yet.  I asked if there were any openings for leading any trips and they placed me here and I can't wait to meet all of you. 

I am not really sure what else to put.  I am not really a fan of sitting in front of a computer.  I really do want to get to know you all a little bit before the we leave so we can dive in deep once we are together.  So feel free to ask me anything you like.

3 quick things about me.  I love ulimate frisbee, movies and ice cream.

Please add me if you have FB.  http://www.facebook.com/daniel.chantlos

Love in Christ,

Daniel Chantlos
