Dani Capusan

Daniel Capusan was born in Romania and raised in the Seattle area after his parents brought their family to the United States in 1991.  During his teenage years, he had to balance the tension of two cultures that clashed in his life. On the one hand, he was asked to retain the Romanian culture while, in his daily living, he felt pressure to accept the cultural changes that accompany life in America. Though those teenage years were not easy, the lessons learned during those difficult years have greatly impacted Daniel’s life. God has placed a desire in his heart to pass down those lessons to the generations that will follow. As a part of the A.B.L.A.Z.E. youth  leadership team, Daniel, along with his wife Alina, are able to use their teenage-year  experiences to guide and direct Romanian-American young people that are dealing with similar issues.

   In June 2004, Daniel graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology.  He is presently studying theology through Ekklesia Bible Institute. In order to better fulfill his calling, Daniel plans on enrolling in the Northwest University Youth Ministry program this fall.
