At sixteen years of age, Mr. Banks left to find his way in the world. He’s traveled internationally, lived in Idaho, Washington, California, Virginia, and now makes his home in Texas with his wife Lora. They have four grown children, of whom they are justifiably proud, not because they are such good parents, but because God is good. At one (brief) point Daniel was one of the 3% of fine visual artists who earned their entire income from sales of their art. He’s a writer, a painter and a sculptor. In 2013, after 40+ years of searching, He found and got reacquainted with his half-brother and a host of relatives from his birth mother’s side of the family. Daniel Roland Banks can’t sing or dance, but he’d like to think he’s considered an engaging public speaker and an excellent judge of single malt Scotch.view less
