Profile

Daniel is a multifaceted figure in the pinball industry serving as owner/founder of Pinball Brothers alongside core design team members Peter Dahlman and Andrea, where he contributes to mechanical engineering and code development for games like Predator Pinball. He is also a competitive tournament player who competes in WPPR-sanctioned events, with evidence suggesting he possesses exceptional pinball skills potentially related to autism spectrum abilities. His roles span both manufacturing/design and competitive play, though his tournament performance appears inconsistent.
