Daniel's Story
Hello My Fellow Warriors,
After graduating High School I moved to Florida to work for the Walt Disney Company. I had many job titles Narrator on the Land Boat Ride, VIP Guest Relations Tour Guide and also had the pleasure of opening 3 theme parks "Disney MGM Studios" now the Hollywood Studios, Typhoon Lagoon and Pleasure Island. I did contract work with Hollywood Pictures and Touchstone Pictures on movies like Dick Tracy, Arachnophobia, and some post sound production work at Buena Vista Productions on animated classics like The Little Mermaid, The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King and Pocahontas. I have also seen some of you and your families on your honeymoons and vacations over those years too =)
I move back home to help my mother take care of my father who unfortunately passed away right before his 54th birthday. I have now outlived him and look at life in a completely different way.
I have made many cities my home across this beautiful country including New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, Orlando, Miami, Philadelphia, and now Dayton OH "io" if you don't live here, you will not get that! I have traveled to 23 countries around the globe with Hearts and Hands in Service building churches, schools and community centers for the poor and underprivileged. What a blessing if you have never given your time to help someone in need. It changes who you are as a person.
I moved to Ohio in spring 1998 to start working on the New Dayton Dragons Baseball Stadium (opened in 2000) and Schuster Center Performing Arts Center (opened in 2003) projects for the City. I have done many theater shows over the years professionally like Cabaret, A Few Good Men, Bye Bye Birdie, and Into the Woods, And...Expand for more
a revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dream Coat.
I was chosen to sing the National Anthem for the opening of the Schuster Center and sang the Anthem at the Dragons Stadium at least 6 times. I also sang with Schuster Choir with the Dayton Philharmonic for 6 years as well. Through the years I have been blessed to meet and hang out with lots of people who have moved me forward in life.
Sadly, my Marriage of 25 years came to an end in 2022 so that was a curve ball out of nowhere. Now I live in a 141-year-old Victorian Home along the river in downtown Dayton walking distance to most everything I need, just like in NYC.
2024 I made a commitment to myself for improvement to read 2 books minimum a month, I also continue to work on healthy eating, working in my 6 vegetable gardens, and rededicated my life to Jesus in 2026.
I placed 5th out of 650 singers in the Dayton Idol singing competition 2024, and I am up for an entrepreneur award for small business owner 2024.
If you want to reach out, I am on Facebook as Daniel Wagner and Ida's Classic Confections and Instagram as Ida's Classic Confections. My business email address is as follows dew4youauctions at Gmail com or Idasclassics at gmail com for my bakery.

I'd love to hear from you, I think of some of you from time to time and all the fun we use to have causing mischief along the way. Please do reach out if only to say hello.
God Bless each and every one of you and your beautiful families. Love always.
