Daniel Weiss - Experienced Product Promoter
I have extensive experience within retail and corporate sales arena; from fashion apparel, to promotional, including wearables, office necessities, drink-ware, tech products, and more.
In my personal life, I am constantly educating myself and transitioning my awareness toward a more sustainable, organic, holistic lifestyle. Not only do I have a restrictive diet, including wheat & gluten, I also make a point to buy better equality, organic, foods, supplements, teas, and personal care. Additionally, I strive for this with my apparel, striving for sustainability and less packaging. I stray away from conventionally medicine, while acknowledging a balance with holistic and naturopathic options.
