EPISODE OVERVIEW: 

Have you heard the one about the young boy and his siblings that were taken out of an abusive home and put into an equally dysfunctional and abusive foster care system? You know, the one where they got tired of having strangers come to visit and today's guest decided he had enough and literally whipped "it" out and pee'd on the wall.

Watch or listen now to this remarkable story and hear how today's guest was adopted, loved, introduced to music and computers, and how the consistency of his parents not only changed his life, but generations to come. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to this week's Remarkable People Podcast, the Daniel Hall story!

GUEST BIO: 

Daniel's story is one of going from struggle as a youth to being an inspiring, resilient dad, software engineer and mentor to foster parents. He grew up in foster care from ages 2 - 5, and was beaten, verbally abused and told he wouldn't amount to anything. Up until about 15 years ago, he didn't give a shit about anyone or anything. He was eventually saved by the Hall family and his wife Tina. Daniel has had a long career as a top-level software engineer and is a passionate advocate for fostering and adoption. Together with Tina, he has six adopted special needs children and he says they have been and continue to be his biggest teachers in life.
