Hey! My name is Daniel Efres, and I am the Secretary of this amazing club. Here, I find joy in helping everybody out as much as I can in becoming their best self — while also having fun and building real friendships along the way. Other than that, I find myself enjoying weightlifting, photography, playing my guitar, playing games, watching movies & shows, or eating taco bell nuggets. If you ever have any questions, or honestly just want to talk just let me know!
