First things first
Standing at 5’5” out of Port Washington, New York, Daniel Chen graduated from the University of Toronto with a double major in Mathematics and Economics, and currently works at Amazon as an Area Manager. In 2021 he rode a bicycle 3,200 miles from Savannah, Georgia to Los Angeles with Overland Adventures — strangers at the start line, friends by the Pacific. The rest of his free time goes to running, hiking, and tennis — ideally somewhere with a view.
